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.

Player to watch
Gareth Bale. Once he got over the bizarre record of never having played in a winning Spurs side, the young Welshman established himself as a fine left-sided player.
Squad worries
Injury-prone centre-halves mean defensive cover will be thin. Attacking options are good as long as four or five strikers can be kept happy.
Manager speak
Harry Redknapp’s reputation as a wheelerdealer does not do justice to his knowledge and judgement of players. Would have liked to wheel and deal a bit more this summer.
Story of the summer
Depressingly low key for most fans. Despite the allure of Champions League football, Brazilian Sandro is the sole new arrival, and even he hasn’t joined yet. Robbie Keane and Roman Pavlyuchenko remain at the club, despite being repeatedly linked with moves.
Last season 4th
Pipped City to the final Champions League spot.
This season 6th
Will find Europe a distraction, whatever it has in store.
