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.

A dream team of legends, consisting of the likes of Zinedine Zidane, the original Brazilian Ronaldo, Pavel Nedved and Luis Figo defeated the Swiss side Young Boys Bern in the 11th annual 'Match against Poverty', with the proceeds of the game going to help support the recovery efforts in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan.
Zidane, a World Cup winner with France in 1998, showed that he has still got his magic touch, scoring twice in the charity game at the Bernabeu, and also making an audacious back-heeled pass.
Watch the highlights of the match below
Other players to feature in the team of Zidane, who is now assistant coach at Real Madrid, included Steve McManaman, Christian Vieri and Paolo Maldini.
