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.

JEREMY BATES led the British charge into the semi-finals of the Direct Line Insurance tournament at Beckenham yesterday.

Bates, the British No 1, overcame South Africa's Grant Stafford 6-4, 6-1 and is likely to face the world No 3 Stefan Edberg on Saturday.

With Monique Javer reaching the last four of the women's event earlier in the day, beating Australia's No 11 seed Nicole Pratt 6-3, 7-6, British players are making a two-pronged assault on the pre-Wimbledon tournament.
