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.

Steve Robinson, the World Boxing Organisation feather-weight champion, has been given a 48-hour deadline to confirm that he will make a defence against Naseem Hamed by the end of the month or the title becomes vacant. The fight is scheduled for Cardiff on 30 September, but a contractual problem has developed over purse money.

Ross Hale, of Bristol, is to challenge Puerto Rico's Sammy Fuentes for the WBO light-welterweight title in Shepton Mallett on 28 October.
