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.

ERIC CANTONA saw red in a pre-season friendly at Ibrox, his third sending-off this year. Claiming gold in Helsinki were Britain's athletes Steve Backley, Linford Christie and Du'Aine Ladejo. There was claret spilled at West Ham United, with the manager Billy Bonds quitting the Premiership club after 27 years. The united colours of Benetton were in disarray as FIA, the world governing body, rejected their claims over a missing fuel filter. Rugby union's mandarins were in a blue funk over the inexorable spread of professionalism in the game.
