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.

Two vintage Steve Bull goals moved Wolverhampton Wanderers up to third place in the Nationwide First Division as they beat Portsmouth 2-0 at Fratton Park last night.

Terry Venables, Portsmouth's director of football, made his first visit to the club in three weeks to see Bull take his total for the season to eight with a goal in each half.

The win leapfrogged Wolves above the early-season pacesetters, Barnsley, who could only draw at home to Oxford.

Sheffield United put themselves back in the promotion race with a 3-0 win over Charlton. The Belarussian striker Petr Katchouro grabbed two second-half goals, before Andy Walker made sure of the points.

Around 1,000 protesting Brighton supporters staged a demonstration outside the Goldstone Ground following the Seagulls' 1-0 defeat against Hereford. The demonstration lasted for 20 minutes and ended peacefully, fans having walked out of the match 15 minutes from time.
