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.

An overweight but skilful Diego Maradona made a successful reappearance as the Rest of the World XI came back from 2-0 down to beat Europe 4-3 in a benefit game for Jean-Marc Bosman in Barcelona on Sunday. Only 2,000 fans were present in the Olympic stadium to see the former Argentinian World Cup captain, who recently announced his return to Boca Juniors. Maradona played for an hour before being substituted.
