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.

PLANS TO crack down on football hooligans do not go far enough, the Tories told the House of Commons last night. They called for new Football Behaviour Orders to prevent hooligans from going to matches abroad.

Debating the report stage of the Crime and Disorder Bill, Sir Norman Fowler, shadow home affairs spokesman, said he wanted to introduce legislation to allow police to go to court when they had "reasonable cause to believe that an order was necessary to prevent an individual" from causing trouble abroad. The Home Secretary, Jack Straw, said such moves were unlikely before the end of the World Cup.
