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.

Alan Maybury, Leeds' 20-year-old Republic of Ireland international defender, has joined the Scottish Premier League club Dunfermline on loan until the end of the season.

Luc Borrelli, the Lyons reserve goalkeeper, has been killed in a car accident. Borrelli, who was 33, crashed into the back of a lorry on the highway from Paris to Lyons on Wednesday. His car caught fire and he was unable to escape. Marseilles-born Borrelli joined Lyon from Second Division Caen last year. He previously played for Paris St Germain and Toulon, with whom he made his First Division debut in October 1986.
