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.

Britain's leading men continued their build-up to this month's US Open with wins in their respective warm-up tournaments on Wednesday night.

Tim Henman powered his way into the third round of the RCA Championships with a 6-3, 6-2 win over the Romanian Adrian Voinea in Indianapolis. "I am really happy with the way I played," said Henman, the sixth seed. "I am really feeling good about my game."

Greg Rusedski fought his way into the third round of the Legg Mason Classic with a 6-4, 7-6 win over the Frenchman Julien Boutter in Washington.

Goran Ivanisevic, who beat both Henman and Rusedski on his way to winning Wimbledon this year, saved two match points for a 4-6, 7-6, 7-6 victory over Vladimir Voltchkov, of Belarus, in the second round of the Indianapolis Championships.
