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.THE Boxing Board of Control has decided not to strip Herbie Hide of the British heavyweight title. Because of a Home Office mistake, Hide was not a British subject or citizen when he won the title 11 months ago, but the Board said it would be an injustice to take the title away.
ANDY TILL will make his third defence of the British light-middleweight title against Robert McCracken at Watford Town Hall on 23 February.
