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.

It has been quite a week for sport on both sides of the Atlantic. In America, the New York Yankees baseball team let slip their 86-year stranglehold over their rivals the Boston Red Sox. In England, Arsenal Football Club's 49-match, record-breaking, unbeaten Premiership run came to an end against Manchester United. In the Bronx and Highbury they will be reflecting on what went wrong, and perhaps consoling themselves with the fact that nothing lasts forever. But for everyone else, this week is surely a confirmation of why there's nothing quite like sport: despite the recent form, despite the burden of history, you can never be sure what's going to happen on the day.
