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.

Wigan Athletic have signed Leeds United's 21-year-old left-back, Kevin Sharp, for a club-record pounds 100,000. Sharp has signed a two-and-a-half year deal and is expected to make his debut at Plymouth Argyle a week on Saturday.

Jordi Cruyff, the Barcelona forward, will be out of action for two months because of a knee injury. The striker, whose father, Johan, is Barcelona's coach, has already missed most of the season because of the injury.
