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 olympic ticket-selling system came under renewed fire yesterday as the second chance to buy them got under way.

Thousands found the London 2012 website struggling to cope and faced error messages, delays and instructions to "try again later".

Fans vented their frustration on social networking sites while triple Olympic gold medallist Bradley Wiggins branded the system "a shambles" after many members of his family missed out on tickets to watch him race.
