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.

PETER BLAKE and Robin Knox-Johnston in the 92-foot catamaran Enza are averaging 17.62 knots and after 25 dyas are over five days ahead of schedule for completing their trip round the world in 77 days. They have covered nearly 10,000 miles at an average of 16.57 knots and hope to beat the record of 79 days 15 hours set last year by France's Bruno Peyron in Commodore Explorer.
