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.

BOLTON WANDERERS are set to sign the Sheffield Wednesday defender, Simon Coleman, for pounds 350,000. The deal represents a pounds 100,000 profit for the Premiership club, who bought the 26-year-old from Derby only eight months ago.

FRANCO BARESI, Italy's veteran captain, has retired from international football. The 34-year-old Milan defender won his 81st cap at the 1-1 draw with Slovenia in a European Championship qualifier last month.
