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.

n I just can't believe it. Monica Seles wins the Canadian Open after 28 months away from tennis.

n You get to a point where you are confused. I wasn't sure what to do. Amanda Coetzer, beaten by Seles.

n I never believed in star status. That to me means Rolex watches, gold chains and flashy cars. I hate all of these. Dennis Bergkamp, Arsenal's new signing from Internazionale.

nHe could become Leeds's greatest ever player. John Charles, the former Leeds legend, on Tony Yeboah.

n Let me tell you, Tyson is nothing. George Foreman would beat Tyson quicker than he did [Joe] Frazier. Bob Arum, boxing promoter, who wants Tyson to fight Foreman.

n Mike knew I was in there with him. You can be sure about that. I was no frigging pushover. Peter McNeeley, beaten by Tyson in under two minutes.

n If people think I'm crazy, so be it. Joe Bugner plans another comeback.

n I would be foolish to have sympathy for another driver. Formula One is a hard world. What's happed to David [Coulthard] is a reminder of how ruthless it can be. Damon Hill on his sacked team-mate.
