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.

AMARA SIMBA: The Senegal-born French international striker will celebrate his 37th birthday next week as a player at Leyton Orient, the club he joined for nothing in October. Simba's illustrious career has seen him play for, among others, Paris St Germain, Caen and Marseilles (where at one stage he partnered Eric Cantona). He played for 18 months in Mexico before joining the Os, for whom he has played eight games and scored two goals so far. Simba has played four times for France, including one substitute appearance against England, and has scored a total of two international goals.
