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.While her uncle Iain was suffering the agony of Premier League relegation with Hull City yesterday, Natasha Dowie was experiencing the ecstasy of scoring the winning goal in the FA Women's Cup final.
Dowie's extra-time winner secured Everton their first FA Women's Cup triumph as they beat Arsenal 3-2 at the City Ground in Nottingham.
Dowie's 16th-minute strike had put Everton in front before Kim Little's penalty leveller. Everton grabbed the lead again before the break when Faye White headed into her own net.
Julie Fleeting forced extra-time when she equalised early in the second half, only for Dowie to score a minute from the end of the additional period to prevent the need for a penalty shoot-out.
With both sides flagging there was little goalmouth action in extra-time until Brooke Chaplen found Dowie in the area and the striker coolly converted.
