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.

They have had to get used to the idea that they will not be able to take the Wembley goalposts home with them this time. Now Scottish fans may face a greater indignity.

Swiss supporters filled the stadium with the sound of cowbells when their side took on England, but the Scots may be banned from bringing their bagpipes to Wembley. The musical instrument had been included on an official Euro 96 list of offensive weapons and, while the safety officer at Villa Park (where Scotland face the Dutch tonight) has relented, Wembley officials will not make a decision about Saturday's game against England until tomorrow.
