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.

Richard Hall, Southampton's England under-21 central defender, has undergone surgery to repair a groin injury but is expected to be fit for the start of the new Premiership season.

Alexei Lalas, the American international defender, will join Major League soccer when it begins operations in the States next year. "The fans here deserve professional soccer," said Lalas, who signed a contract with the league at undisclosed terms. "This is a great day for me." Lalas will remain with Italian team Padova for the 1995-96 season.
