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.The second half of the Eighties was a deeply troubled time for English football, but the soul-searching and self-examination did lead to the creation of the Football Supporters Association, which gives the fan in the street a forum. Join the perpetual debate about the great game next Thursday, when the FSA's London branch holds a Question Time meeting upstairs at the Ebury Arms, in Pimlico Road, Victoria.
Though each meeting kicks off with a specific topic, the discussion usually also expands to take in the current big issue - bungs and bribes, the latest England debacle, court case of the week etc. Thursday's meeting is on "Football in the Community", with guest speaker John Hollins, the former Chelsea and England stalwart now combining coaching at QPR with regular employment as Sky TV's rent-a-quote. He's joined by Paul Elliott (right), formerly of Chelsea, Celtic and Pisa, now an articulate match analyst for C4's Italian coverage; Neil Watson, Leyton Orient's Community Officer; and Debbie Bampton, Croydon Ladies' player/manager and England international. The meeting starts at 7pm, it's free of charge, and you don't have to be an FSA member to get in.
