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.

Listen up, West Ham fans

Manuel Pellegrini has urged West Ham’s fans to stick with the team after he criticised supporters for leaving last week’s 2-1 defeat against Bournemouth before the final whistle.

“The stadium was empty with 10 minutes to go, we can still score in that time,” he said after the defeat. “They need to believe but if you don't have results it is more difficult for them.”

Everyone stay calm!

Marco Silva has stressed that Everton must keep their feet firmly on the ground after a good start to his time at Goodison Park.

The standard of football has been impressing the fans as much as the four points in the Premier League after a sour six months with Sam Allardyce in charge.

This upturn in confidence at the club has seen the manager move to make sure fans keep their expectations in check at this early stage despite such a positive start.
