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.

A young spectator beside the Ashton Gate dug-out containing the Liverpool manager Graeme Souness watches Bristol City strive for FA Cup success before floodlight failure caused the tie to be abandoned. The fault lay in a pounds 5 cable link, which was repaired yesterday at a cost of around pounds 50. The club announced that admission prices for the replayed game on 19 January will be reduced, with home supporters paying from pounds 3 to pounds 5, and Liverpool fans pounds 3.
