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.

Great Britain's Bianca Walkden intends to build on gold at the Spanish Open to make herself "unbeatable" in the taekwondo World Championships later this summer. The 21-year-old Liverpudlian, who missed out on a place at the London Olympics to Sarah Stevenson, powered to another impressive over-73kg title in Alicante on Saturday.

Martin Stamper narrowly beat long-time rival Vladimir Kim of Russia in the under-68kg final.
