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.

I looked in the mirror and I didn't like what I saw. Tony Adams, the England and Arsenal defender, confesses to being an alcoholic.

Friendship and loyalty have been smashed. Andy Ripley, former England No 8, on the state of British rugby.

My team talk was very simple. Let's just have an old-fashioned match, get the right result and go out for a few drinks afterwards. It seemed to work better than all the tactical stuff. Ron Atkinson on Coventry's win over Leeds on Saturday.

Vinnie Jones is just a self-hyped personality. Gary Lineker, former England captain and now a BBC sports presenter.

Lineker has the charisma of a jellyfish - and he is just as wet. He is a jellyfish without a sting. Faxed response from Everyone at Wimbledon FC to Lineker.
