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.

Should The Price Is Right cheer on Parma (the 1-2 favourites we've backed at "Burlington Bertie" 100-30) or Marseilles (the 6-4 underdogs we've backed at 7-1)? Easy money. Things are admittedly somewhat more clear-cut in the European Cup final. Manchester United (the 4-6 favourites we've backed at 9-2) have simply got to beat Bayern Munich at the Nou Camp while, in the Cup-Winners' Cup final at Villa Park, Lazio (the 1-2 favourites we've backed at 6-4) must beat Real Mallorca. Meanwhile, despite last week's reverse, we reckon we're pulling into Draw Central again this week-end so we're going for a big trebles' spread with a fun four-timer thrown in to boot.
