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.Former Leeds United and Manchester United star Eric Cantona has pledged to buy a share in Bath City.
The 49-year-old striker-turned-actor plans to contribute to the community buyout scheme which was launched for fans to purchase the club.
Ken Loach, who directed the 2009 film 'Looking For Eric' starring the Frenchman, is an avid supporter of the National League South side Bath and so Cantona is keen to give back.
"It's a big challenge to raise the money but don't be scared," Cantona said in a Youtube video posted by the 'Big Bath City Bid' channel.
"I am supporting them and buying a share myself. It is a great club, I saw it for myself. Now, we can make it even greater."
Supporters are hoping to raise between £750,000 to £1.25million for a takeover to become viable and the four-time Premier League winner has given then a boost with his publicity alone.
