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.With the title race seemingly over and the fight for loads of money (i.e. the top four) difficult to get enthused by, the relegation battle promises to provide the most excitement in this season's Premier League run-in.

For those who beat the dreaded drop come May, history tells us among them will be some heroes. Players who score vital goals, inspire those around them and refuse to accept their fate will be among the icons of the 2012/13 season.
Here, we take a look at the potential heroes this season, and then look back at some of the saviours of previous years... Click HERE to launch our guide
