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.BOXING Henry Wharton has been installed as the next official challenger to the European title holder, Frederic Seillier, of France, despite losing recently to Chris Eubank.
The Commonwealth super-middleweight champion from York was outpointed by Eubank in Manchester's World Boxing Organisation fight last month.
A win over Seillier would not only lift the European Boxing Union crown, but also put Wharton among the contenders for a version of the 12-stone title.
Seillier is currently No 1 in the World Boxing Council rankings and either he, or the American Gerald McClellan, will be the next opponent for the WBC champion, Nigel Benn, at the London Arena on 25 February.
