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.

Spanish third division club CD Guadalajara have joined Rayo Vallecano in the fight against intolerance.

Last week Spanish Premier Division club Rayo released an away kit with a striking rainbow sash - and the slogan 'solidarity' - across it, to raise awareness seven different types of injustice and intolerance, including child abuse, depression and homophobia.

CD Guadalajara released their home kit at the Madrid Pride festival over the weekend with the LGBT symbol of a rainbow flag running down the purple shirt.

Made by Hummel, the club and Danish sportswear brand have also announced that five per cent of sales will be donated to La Liga Acro Iris (La Liga Rainbow).

The charity that fights against homophobia and other prejudice in Spanish football.
