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.

Liverpool are arranging their first game against Juventus since the 1985 Heysel Stadium disaster. More than 10 years after 39 fans died as a result of rioting before the European Cup final, the two clubs are negotiating to meet at Boston's 60,000-capacity Foxboro Stadium on 11 August.

"We've been trying to organise this game for some time and it looks as if it is coming to fruition," the Liverpool manager, Roy Evans, said. "We have had a great relationship with them over a number of years - certainly since Heysel and with the transfer to and from of Ian Rush."
