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.

CANNOCK REPLACED Canterbury at the top the National League Premier Division and finished what proved to be a bad weekend for the Kent side with a three-point lead.

Canterbury surrendered top spot on Saturday when they drew 1-1 with Teddington and yesterday lost 6-5 at home to Old Loughtonians. That handed Cannock their chance, which they took by following up Saturday's unconvincing 1-0 victory at home to Beeston with a 3-1 win at Brooklands yesterday.

Southgate beat struggling East Grinstead 2-0 yesterday to recover a little pride. They had suffered a heavy home defeat against Reading last week and were thrashed 7-1 by Guildford on Saturday when Ian Jennings became the first to 200 National League goals with the second goal in his hat- trick.

Yesterday, Southgate won with goals by Duncan Woods and Simon Moffat in the second-half of a scrappy game in which two of their three Australians, Max Diamond and Ryan McGraw, received temporary suspensions.

It was a bleak weekend for women's Premier Champions, Ipswich. They went down 3-1 to Clifton Scottish Life on Saturday and in the Cup yesterday lost 3-2 to Clifton on penalties after a 2-2 draw.
