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.

Tessa Morris, the junior world bronze medallist in the pairs last year, stroked the Lady Eleanor Holles eight to victory in the college eights, beating the American favourites, George Washington University, in the semi-final. Six of the LEH crew will now progress to the final trials for the British junior team.
The open eights final proved an easy four-and-a-half length victory for a Bedford Staines Composite over Thames Rowing Club who won the club eights in 5:05, the same time as the open event. The quadruple sculls produced another fine race with the world silver medallist, Sue Key, at bow, beating Thames by half a length. Sue Appleboom won the lightweight single sculls in 6:11, 16 seconds faster than the open sculls, which was won by Carroll of Nottingham.
