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.

Kaka and Ronaldinho also got themselves on the scoresheet in Carlos Alberto Parreira's 100th match as Brazil coach. The substitute Pablo Aimar scored Argentina's only goal with a brave diving header.
After two weeks of blisteringly hot weather, the match was played as a thunderstorm raged around the Waldstadion. The new stadium's roof was closed but water still leaked through on to the pitch.
