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.

Dean Pithie successfully retained his World Boxing Council International super-featherweight title in Coventry on Tuesday night before demanding that Michael Gomez defend his British title against him early next year. "I want him stripped of the title if he hasn't defended against me by the end of February." Pithie said.

Belfast's Darren Corbett scored a surprise points win to take the International Boxing Organisation light-heavyweight intercontinental title, out-pointing Neil Simpson in Coventry on Tuesday.
