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.

After defeating the leaders Reading convincingly last Monday, Peter Taylor's Brighton now have to concentrate on trimming a five-point deficit after Alan Pardew's side extended their advantage in a 0-0 draw at Swindon on Thursday.

Brighton meet Huddersfield at Withdean knowing that Lou Macari must reorganise his defence following the sale of Craig Armstrong to Sheffield Wednesday yesterday. The Terriers have also lost the striker Andy Booth for at least six weeks with a knee injury and face a tough task against a Brighton side who will want more goals from Bobby Zamora before the frontman starts a three-match ban.

Stoke, beaten in the Potteries derby last week, have a chance to recover away to struggling Notts County, while Brentford look for a third consecutive win at Peterborough.

The directors of Bury will use the home match against Cambridge to make a desperate plea for help, warning that the 117-year-old club will go out of business early next month after creditors demanded repayment of a £1m mortgage.
