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.

Andy Parkinson

(Tranmere Rovers)

A contemporary of Michael Owen in Liverpool's youth team, the 18-year- old forward failed to win a contract at Anfield but was taken on by neighbours Tranmere. After a number of appearances on the subs' bench, he made his full debut against Hereford in the third round of the FA Cup and marked his second senior start by scoring the 77th-minute goal that knocked out Sunderland in the fourth round on Saturday.
