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.

Aston Villa are seeking planning permission to turn Villa Park into a 50,000 capacity stadium, with 10,250 more seats to be erected in the North Stand. The cost of the pounds 11.25m project would be financed by the club's imminent flotation on the Stock Market.

Zaire's World Cup qualifying match against Zambia, scheduled for Kinshasa, will be played in Zimbabwe because of the civil war at home. The African Group Three match, originally scheduled for Sunday, will instead be held on 9 April at the National Sports Stadium in the Zimbabwean capital of Harare.
