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.England fans showed off their sense of humour at Dublin's Aviva Stadium in the international friendly with the Republic of Ireland.
As the Fifa corruption scandal broke last week, the Irish FA (FAI) were at the centre of the news.
The FAI took a 5million euro payment from Fifa President Sepp Blatter so that they would not pursue any legal action over the Thierry Henry handball that say France qualify for the 2010 World Cup.
Ahead of kick-off at the Aviva Stadium - the 51,000-seat, €410million stadium that was opened in May 2010 - England fans had prepared a song for the Irish FA.
'Oh, Sepp Blatter, he paid for your ground'.
