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.

SARAH BAILEY'S rise as a paralympian swimmer was further underlined as she broke two world records at the BT-BSAD National Championships in Sheffield this weekend. The 16-year-old from Stockport, who already held three world records going into the championships at Ponds Forge, won six out of her seven events and established world marks for the 100 metres breaststroke (1min 29.29sec) and the 200m backstroke (2min 38.47sec).
