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.

Back to the Future I: Liverpool's new manager is Bootle's Boot Roomer Roy Evans, a Shankly signing.

Back to the Future II: Neil Back, a comparative Lilliputian on the flank, finally overcomes the sizeist tendencies of the England rugby union manager, Geoff Cooke, to gain his first cap against Scotland.

Back to basics: Paul Newlove, the Bradford Northern centre, retires from international rugby league at 22 following heavy criticism of his decision to move home rather than represent Great Britain at the World Sevens.

Back to the fore: Emmitt Smith, the Dallas running back, stars as Buffalo lose their fourth successive Super Bowl. Back on the grid: Manchester wins right to bid for the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

Back to reality: Greedy German club Karlsruhe are fined pounds 22,000 for selling twice as many tickets for a 'high risk' Uefa Cup tie than authorised by safety directives. How could Hillsborough and Heysel be forgotten so quickly?
