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.

If Henman does not start taking drugs or going out drinking every night, he will go very high. Guillaume Raoux French tennis player, after losing in the second round of the Australian Open.

My brain is scrambled eggs right now. I'm really struggling to speak normally because I'm burning, especially my feet and legs. Boris Becker after losing in 100F heat in the Australian Open.

We were leading Monaco by eight points shortly before the break and we lost that lead. It is unacceptable. In 1997 you'll have to work and run until you vomit, if it's necessary. Ricardo, Paris St Germain's Brazilian coach.

He's a hot-tempered guy. He got out to what was an illegal delivery like everybody else thought, and he was just a little upset. Wasim Akram, the Pakistan cricket captain, on Aamir Sohail's one-match suspension for dissent.
