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.

Those seeking alternative commentary on Kate's and Will's nuptials could have done worse than follow on Twitter the nation's sporting elite – for whom training yesterday appears to have consisted of sitting on the sofa, in front of the TV.

Mr and Mrs Beckham both looking very nice... #inmyopinion

@jack_wilshere

Im gonna send Will a bbm asking if he wants to spend his honeymoon with Kate watching us down at eastlands vs Man City!

@Carlton9Cole

Loving Williams gloves.. Is he coming to the crucible to referee??

@VaughanCricket

If Kate had gone primark and purchased her dress from there she would have become 'the peoples Princess' instantly! #justsaying

@rioferdy5

Lads, you have never had a better excuse for golf, your missus won't even ask or care where you are!
