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.

"I'm one of the few fans who comes from Manchester. We moved to London when I was very young but saw them at Old Trafford during the Sixties. It was my mum's her fault I missed out on the European Cup Final in 1968 when United beat Benfica 4-1 at Wembley. She applied for tickets but they were pounds 9 and she thought they were too expensive and I didn't go. The best goal I've seen at Old Trafford was a Bestie goal against Sheffield Wednesday in 1970. He beat the whole team, stopped the ball on the line and tapped it in. I think my proudest moment was when Denis Law asked for my autograph for his wife."
