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.Uefa has responded to widespread outrage against the sanctions imposed on Serbia for the racist abuse directed at England players during an Under-21 match in October by appealing against its own disciplinary panel's verdict.
Serbian fans directed chants at black England players throughout an ill-tempered match in Krusevac that ended in an on-pitch brawl between players and coaches.
The British Government led the condemnation of the perceived leniency of the €80,000 (£65,600) fine imposed on the Football Association of Serbia. Several Serbian coaches and players were also suspended and the team was ordered to play one Under-21 match in an empty stadium.
Uefa's president, Michel Platini, had indicated he was likely to seek tougher sanctions against Serbia.
