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.

AFRICA won its first Olympic football medal yesterday as Isaac Asare's goal from a free-kick after 18 minutes gave Ghana a 1-0 victory over Australia in the bronze-medal match played in an almost deserted Nou Camp. In an ill-tempered game, Ghana's substitute Shamo Quaye was sent off and Nii Lamptey was booked, while for Australia Shaun Murphy went off with a bloodied nose and Paul Okon missed a penalty.
