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.Stevenage Borough, the Vauxhall Conference champions, have been charged by the Football Association with bringing the game into disrepute.

Stevenage were denied promotion to the League because they did not meet ground requirements last season.
Birmingham City have escaped the threat of possible ground closure following crowd incidents against Manchester City on 21 September. The Football Association is to take no further action. Alan Jones, the Birmingham secretary, said: "We are happy with the FA decision but we do not see it as a soft option. The FA are aware that we are intent on finding the people responsible and that we will be taking the strongest action."
Bolton Wanderers have confirmed their interest in Chelsea's Mark Hughes, should he find himself out of favour at Stamford Bridge after the arrival of the Italian forward, Gianfranco Zola, from Parma.
