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.

I can't think of anything that can be better than today's double. Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United manager, after his club became the first to win the double twice after beating Liverpool 1-0 in the FA Cup final.

We won't be able to call ourselves great until we have conquered Europe again. Bobby Charlton, Manchester United director.

A team is like a nice clock - if just one piece is missing the clock is still beautiful, but doesn't work the same. Ruud Gullit, Chelsea's player-manager, outlines his philosophy.

We wanted to show that we have some fantastic athletes in rugby league. Shaun Edwards, Wigan's captain, after winning union's Middlesex Sevens. I try to keep my bra on at all times. Georgie Hill, Damon Hill's wife, explains how she avoids being a "distraction" after rumours that Jean Alesi's girlfriend has been banned from the pits.
