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.From Neil Rose
Two years ago, I and three friends bought tickets for all the games at Wembley for Euro 96. We received confirmation on 16 June 1994 and were told the best seats available would automatically be allocated.
Two years later, we find ourselves tucked away in the corner, getting closer to the pitch with every game, while other friends who bought similarly priced tickets for the same games in the last few weeks and months enjoy the view from vastly superior seats.
Being at Wembley for the Scotland and Holland games have been unforgettable experiences, but I still cannot help feeling - and not for the first time as a football fan - a little ripped off.

Is it not an honour to represent Britain in the Atlanta Olympics and even more of an honour to captain the British team? Maybe the selectors should look to Roger Black to lead the side and suggest to Linford Christie to take up advertising.
