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.

Damon Hill showed he is still a winner to his British fans despite his frustrating start to the season. Thousands of the Formula One world champion's supporters attended an Arrows open day in Oxfordshire yesterday.

"I have not been able to give my fans the kind of results they have been used to, so it is great to see so many of them turn up here," said Hill as around 10,000 supporters made the trip. "If you read the reports they give the impression that I'm despondent, unhappy, dejected and cross. That's absolute rubbish.

"It's been a tough season, but I've been through tough seasons before. I'm not frightened of just plodding on with the job."
