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.

Guy Cribb, the UK windsurfing champion in the heavyweight class, and Vernon van den Berg, test the waters off Eastbourne after the final day of the North Sea Cup was cancelled due to the weather. On Saturday, 204 board sailors competed in the cup, the fourth and final leg of which will be held in Wimereux, France, in two weeks' time.
