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.

If they ask me who's the best of both of us, I've got to say my opinion. I've got to say I can box five different ways. Naseem Hamed in New York to defend his world title, on his claim to be a better boxer than Muhammad Ali.

If he tried that act in the streets of New York, guys that couldn't kill him with their bare hands would shoot him. Anybody who has to tell you they're great - it means they ain't. Kevin Kelley, Hamed's challenger, on his braggadocio.

My aunt, who is a religious lady and doesn't speak bad about anybody, called me the other day and said, `Kevin, I saw those commercials and he's so nasty. That's not God-like. You need to give him a beating.' Kelley.

At the end of the day I am a fan and I don't want scally Manchester City fans coming round my house putting my windows in when City are in the Third Division. Noel Gallagher on why he won't be joining the board.
