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.

LIVERPOOL STATS...
Raheem Sterling is Liverpool’s top scorer this season, with 2 goals.
Sterling has also averaged a pass accuracy of 80% so far this season.
Ludogorets’ stadium only holds 6,000 people, meaning their Champions League home games are played at the national stadium in Sofia.
Ludogorets’ record transfer fee is just £1.5m.
Defender Cosmin Moti saved two shootout penalties against Steaua Bucharest, standing in after Ludogoret’s keeper was sent off, to send his team into the group stages of the Champions League.
ARSENAL STATS…
In 2013 Arsenal became the first English team to win at the Westfalenstadion thanks to an Aaron Ramsey goal.
This is the third time in the last four seasons that the two teams have been drawn in the same group.
Arsenal have five wins from their last 10 away games in the Champions League.
Arsenal have conceded from the first shot on target faced in all four Premier League games this season.
Only once, in 2003, has more than one goal separated the two teams.
