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.Sunderland today announced it had reached an agreement for Invest in Africa to become their official partner and shirt sponsor.
The Black Cats will wear the name of the not-for-profit organisation on their shirts for at least the next two seasons. Invest in Africa is a partnership of leading companies formed to promote business opportunities on the continent.
Owner and chairman Ellis Short said: "We are very proud to have augmented our relationship with Invest in Africa through this wonderful agreement.
"It is a partnership which sets a new benchmark for the club commercially, but what stands out is while doing so, it truly gives something back to both our own region and to a continent which has become a firm part of our club's success story over recent seasons."
Short added: "Extending our relationship will enable us to put the club's knowledge and experience - allied with its immense global reach as part of the Premier League - fully into practice.
"It fits perfectly with our own aims as we continue showcasing Sunderland AFC to a global audience which simply loves football."
