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.

I WILL not be making revolution. That would be stupid. Gianluca Vialli, Chelsea's new player-manager, on taking over from Ruud Gullit.

NO ONE stabbed Rudi in the back, not the staff or the players. This has come from the board. Vialli.

DEATH comes quick now in football. Kevin Keegan, former manager of Newcastle United, on Gullit's sacking.

WE have the highest paid team in the country - the players Ruud Gullit brought in. I can halve the cost of season tickets tomorrow if that's what the fans want, but then they will have to put up with free transfers from the Nationwide League. Ken Bates, Chelsea chairman, on his club's massive rise in season ticket prices.
