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.

n When I got the phone call, I just felt numb. It's a sunny day outside but for me, it's a sad one. Devon Malcolm, also overlooked by England.

n I was feeling as sick as the proverbial donkey. The reaction of Mick McCarthy, the Republic of Ireland manager, after the end-to-end 4-2 World Cup victory over Iceland.

n When Italy has its back to the wall then it rises to the occasion, and that's how it will be against the English. Gianfranco Zola on next month's World Cup showdown in Rome.

n The greens were soft underneath and crusty on top - a bit like my omelettes. Nick Faldo on the putting surfaces at the European Masters.
