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.All Football League matches on the opening weekend of the season will be preceded by a minute's applause to honour Sir Bobby Robson.
The former Fulham, Ipswich and Newcastle manager died this morning at the age of 76 after a long battle with cancer.
Players will also wear black armbands during matches on August 7/8/9 as a tribute to the man who led England to the World Cup semi-finals in 1990.
League chairman Lord Mawhinney said: "The thoughts of the Football League, our clubs and their supporters are with Bobby's family and friends today. We will miss him."
