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.

From Mr Simon Neller Sir: Your "quote of the weekend" (23 January) has John Burridge saying: "The pitch was playable. I've been in football over 25 years and it's become a game for poofters."

Can I point that the gay Stonewall Football Club's third XI played a West End League fixture on a Somme-like Regent's Park on Sunday afternoon, therefore challenging his theory that a player's sexual orientation has any connection with getting muddy knees.

Yours faithfully, SIMON NELLER Stonewall FC London, WC1
