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.

Guinea step into Nigeria's shoes

Guinea are to replace Nigeria in the African Nations' Cup because Nigeria did not meet a deadline to confirm their participation. The Confederation of African is to decide later this month what sanctions to impose on Nigeria, who withdrew because of fears over the players' safety. Meanwhile, Doug Sharpe has resigned as chairman of struggling Second Division club Swansea, a move which could lead to a takeover.
