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.

A sixth-minute goal from Alan Shearer and a last-minute strike from Teddy Sheringham gave England victory in their World Cup Group Two qualifying match in Chorzow last night, their first victory in Poland for 31 years.

Despite heavy pressure from the Polish side and a missed penalty on the stroke of half-time by Shearer, the England captain, the visitors held on to all-but ensure themselves a place in next year's finals.
