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.

Dallas Cowboys, the Super Bowl champions, have signed the veteran running back Herschel Walker, rescuing his career and returning him to the team where he began in the National Football League 10 years ago. Walker, 34, was passed over by the New York Giants last month and it appeared his career in the NFL might be over, but the Cowboys' owner, Jerry Jones, said he would strengthen the team.

The Green Bay Packers have re-signed their five-times Pro Bowl tight end Keith Jackson on a two-year contract. The 31-year-old Jackson, who became an unrestricted free agent after the 1995 season, featured in the play- offs for the Packers, catching 12 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns in two games.
