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.

Jamaica's World Cup captain, the left-sided centre-half Ian Goodison, has arrived in England for a week's trial with Huddersfield Town.

Five professional players appeared in a Hong Kong court yesterday charged with conspiring to lose a World Cup qualifying match against Thailand. The five pleaded not guilty to 17 charges brought by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. They were accused of conspiring with the jailed player, Chan Tsz-kong, in fixing a series of local First Division matches as well as the Thai cup qualifier in March 1996. The case was adjourned until 1 December.
