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.

Hartlepool United were wound up in the London Companies Court yesterday with debts of more than pounds 260,000 to the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise. Yet they believe they can survive with help from Paul Gascoigne's agent, the lawyer Mel Stein. Stein is making an application for the order to be overturned in the High Court tomorrow, allowing the FA Cup fourth-round game at Sheffield United to go ahead on Saturday.
