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.

WAKEFIELD Trinity's fanzine, Wally Lewis Is Coming, has a Poetry Corner. Among other gems, it offers this version of 'Away Melancholy' by Stevie Smith:

Away melancholy

Away with it, let it go

Are not the trees green,

The earth as green?

Does not the wind blow,

Fire leap and the rivers flow?

Away melancholy.

I was sure

We'd beat them

At Hilton Park.

CHANT of the week: David Seaman wears all-black, as referees are now in green. Last week Chelsea fans welcomed him with: 'Who's the bastard in the black?'
