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.

"There are staff at Oxford who haven't been paid for six weeks. We tried to sell Joey Beauchamp so we could pay 'em...but you know what? He failed his fitness test! Can you believe it? The thing about Oxford is that we've got this massive slope, and when we're kicking downhill, we'll beat anyone. We've beaten every single club when we've played down the hill in the second half! The joke is always that Joey can't play anywhere else! When we won the Milk Cup which was the greatest day ever! That was the year we would have been in Europe! Can you imagine?! Oxford v Barcelona going down that hill? We'd have whooped 'em!"
