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.

Huddersfield Town's Gary Taylor-Fletcher scored the 500,000th goal in the history of English League Football last night in the 78th minute of the League One match against Rotherham Town at the Galpharm Stadium. Huddersfield won 3-0.

Taylor-Fletcher, who also scored for the Terriers in their FA Cup third-round tie against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in January, will today be presented with a special trophy by the Football League.

In the Championship, a slightly lucky strike from Lewis Emanuel earned Luton Town a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough to maintain a perfect start to the new season for Mike Newell's side. In contrast, the Owls have still to score their first goal.

Burnley also made it two wins from two with a 1-0 win at Leicester.
