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.

Kell Brook's long-awaited world-title challenge against the holder, Devon Alexander, has been re-arranged for 18 May at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall.

The bout for the IBF welterweight title had been cancelled twice owing to both men suffering injuries in training.

"It's been a frustrating wait, but now I'm ready to get in there on 18 May and bring that title home," said Brook, who is the mandatory challenger to Alexander's crown.

"We've both had to pull out through injury so we are both hungry for the fight, but I believe I will prove I've got a bigger appetite for the battle and that I'll be too good for him."
