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.

Victor Muhammad will be lining up for the London Monarchs when they open this year's World League against Frankfurt next month. The running back played in 1991 and 1992 using the name Victor Ebubedike and then for the 1995 and 1996 seasons as Victor X Ebubedike. "When you are in the Nation of Islam, the X is an interim stage before you are able to change your name. I have now earned and received my Muhammad," he explained.
