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.

Minimum satisfaction for Alvarez

Rosendo Alvarez, of Nicaragua, defeated Chana Por Pao-In, of Thailand, on a split decision to win the World Association Minimumweight Championship yesterday. It was the 20th win for the 25-year-old Nicaraguan, who also has 13 knock-outs and is the mini-flyweight champion of Latin America. The fight, Chana's first defeat in 29 contests, was his 10th defence of the title he won from Hideyuki Ohachi of Japan in Tokyo in 1993.
