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.

Fulham had their lead cut to four points as they drew 1-1 at home to Exeter, while second-placed Carlisle beat Hartlepool 1-0.

Terry Angus made amends for scoring an own goal at Craven Cottage by also heading Fulham's equaliser, while a one-sided game at Brunton Park saw Lee Peacock score the only goal of the game for Carlisle against Hartlepool.

Cambridge United and Wigan stay third and fourth respectively despite both of their games being postponed, while at the other end of the table continuing protests at the Goldstone Ground mean that Brighton's under- fire chief executive, David Bellotti, is yet to see a match under new manager Steve Gritt. Bellotti missed yesterday's 1-1 draw with Colchester and was also absent for the recent home wins over Hull City and Fulham.

Yesterday's game got underway with whistles all around the ground as supporters launched their latest protest against the club's owners.
