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.

Vinnie Jones

Queen's Park Rangers

The 34-year-old former Wimbledon hard man has not played competitively for five months and lost his QPR coaching job when Gerry Francis became manager. Although at the threshold of a successful acting career, he still hopes for another club after Rangers agreed to give him a free transfer.

Martin Bullock

Barnsley

A raw talent who took some taming at the start of his career, the 23-year-old midfielder is at last persuading Premiership managers to take a look - Aston Villa's John Gregory among them. Two FA Cup goals in a week will not harm his hopes for a big-time move.

Paolo di Canio and the Scarlet Pimpernel (as played by Richard E Grant). Thanks to Mr D Wilson of Sheffield for spotting the uncanny resemblance between the elusive Pimpernel and Wednesday's Italian striker, especially during the past two months.
