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.

Terry Butcher will be reported to the Football Association by South Yorkshire Police and could face a misconduct charge after Sunderland's 1-0 FA Cup defeat at Sheffield Wednesday. The 34-year-old Sunderland centre-half has been accused of crowd incitement after running to his supporters and leading them in an orchestrated show of defiance at the end of the game.
