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.

Shorn of strikers due to injury, Palace boss Alan Pardew still went on the offensive with Puncheon, Zaha, Bolasie and Sako all giving the City rear guard plenty to think about. City missed the injured David Silva's ability to unlock a defence but escaped with another win.
TWEET OF THE MATCH
"Yeeeeessss @67Kelechi!!!!!!!" - Manchester City's Pablo Zabaleta, not part of the playing squad on Saturday, keeps it short and sweet when summing up.
STAR PLAYER
Jason Puncheon: The Palace midfielder is one of the in-form players in the Premier League so far this season and showed why with another all-action display, while coming close to breaking the deadlock twice.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
Kelechi Iheanacho outshone fellow substitute Kevin De Bruyne and announced himself to the Premier League with a dramatic late winner just seconds after coming on.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
The first half was far too stop-start as both sides resorted to niggly and, in some cases, cynical fouls. The bosses had a bit of a squabble on the touchline as well.
WHO'S UP NEXT
Tottenham v Crystal Palace (Premier League, September 20)
Man City v Juventus (Champions League, September 15)
PA
