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.

West Ham will mark the 20th anniversary of Bobby Moore's death with a series of memorial events.

The former England captain, who played 544 games for the Hammers, died on 24 February 1993, and his former West Ham team-mates will attend the club's home match against Tottenham on Monday to pay tribute to Moore.

A minute's applause will be held before kick-off and supporters will display a mosaic depicting his No 6 shirt. A wreath-laying ceremony will also take place outside West Ham's Upton Park ground at 11am on Sunday.
