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.Brighton supporters are aiming to keep up the pressure on under- fire chairman Bill Archer by planning a rally at Trafalgar Square before the Third Division match at Fulham this month.
Over 2,000 discontented Seagull fans boycotted yesterday's 1-1 home draw with Mansfield which led to a crowd of 1,933, the lowest in Albion's history.
Jimmy Case, the manager, admitted the on-going campaign to force Archer and the chief executive, David Bellotti, to resign was "making football secondary".
Supporters groups have made it clear in a statement that boycotting the match was not aimed at the team.
The statement said: "Staying away is the last thing any of us wanted to do, but sadly, it was necessary for Albion fans to make the ultimate gesture of any football supporter."
