Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Darren Campbell announced his retirement last night after winning a low-key 100 metres event at Grangemouth. The 32-year-old, who had been due to end his career after the relay at the Norwich Union International at Birmingham this weekend, called time earlier on a career that has seen him take medals in every major championship.
The Olympic relay gold medallist refused to join in a lap of honour after the British 4 x 100m relay win in the European Championships in Gothenburg last Sunday, as a protest at the inclusion of Dwain Chambers, who had returned from a two-year doping ban.
The two were named in an eight-man relay squad to form two teams this weekend.
