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.

With the biggest competition of them all coming up in South Africa, we look for some inspiration for Fabio Capello's team by remembering England's World Cup winners.
The tournaments we've selected here were open to the world, and while not all of them were particularly prestigious, they were won by the English. The likes of the Ashes, Formula One winners and the Olympics miss out as we remember the times that we could rightfully claim: "England have won the World Cup!"
