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.

Germany and New Zealand drew 1-1, which denied Britain automatic qualification, so they must win two remaining games for the final place. They play Korea tomorrow.
Britain's coach, Tricia Heberle, was disappointed with her team's effort in the 2-0 win over Ireland. New Zealand, Japan and Germany join Spain, the previous day's qualifiers, in taking the four automatic Athens places.
