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.

The return to fitness of the Arsenal striker provided a great boost for the England manager, Graham Taylor, who is still anxiously waiting to discover if the captain, Stuart Pearce, has fully recovered from a thigh injury.

In golf, the Irishman Darren Clarke won his first European PGA Tour event in the Belgian Open at Knokke-le-Zoute. Clarke shot a final-round 68 to win by two shots from Nick Faldo and Vijay Singh.
