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.David Miliband is to remain a member of the Sunderland board despite stepping down as MP for South Shields.
The former foreign secretary has announced he is leaving UK politics to take up a post with the United States-based charity the International Rescue Committee.
However, Mr Miliband, who joined the Black Cats' board as a vice-chairman and non-executive director in 2011, will maintain his links with the club.
Chief executive Margaret Byrne told Sunderland's official website, http://www.safc.com: "David's knowledge and experience have been a tremendous benefit to Sunderland AFC.
"Naturally we are delighted that he is to continue in his role at the club, and we also wish him every success with this new chapter of his life."
