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.

Bristol Rovers held a parade on Monday to celebrate the club's promotion back to the Football League.

We wrongly reported that no one turned up at the start of the route - in fact the bus was just on the way to its destination at Kingswood, where thousands of fans were waiting:

UPDATE: We apologise for insinuating in our original article that no one turned up to the parade. Thousands of you did.

Good luck in League Two.
