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.

With his identity still kept anonymous, the 'Secret Footballer' has given his first television interview to Channel 4, with voice muffled and face obscured.

In the interview, the alleged Premier League player, who has written two books alongside his columns, tells Jon Snow that the football business is not doing enough to educate the young academy players at clubs. "We are removing their education essentially," he says.
