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.

The Carolina Panthers kept their play-off hopes alive and made sure that Dallas would be denied the NFC East title for the first time since 1991 with a 23-13 victory over the Cowboys on Monday night.

Kerry Collins, who overcame a sprained ankle, threw two touchdown passes and John Kasay kicked three field goals for the Panthers, who remain in the wild-card hunt.

Carolina have yet to face the defending Super Bowl champion, Green Bay Packers, and St Louis Rams at home.

They are now level with the Detroit Lions - and just behind the Washington Redskins - for the NFC's third and final wild-card position.
