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.

CHARLTON ATHLETIC are to go ahead with a 6,000-seater stand as the next stage of the redevelopment of The Valley. The single-tier cantilever construction, which will cost pounds 2m, is expected to open for Easter Saturday's Endsleigh First Division game against Southend United.

MICHAEL LAUDRUP returns to the national squad after nearly three years of self-imposed exile for Denmark's World Cup Group Three qualifying match against Lithuania today. Denmark, third in their European group behind the Republic of Ireland and Spain, need a convincing victory to boost their goal difference and thus stand a chance of becoming one of the two qualifiers.

TRANSFER: Dave Bennett, striker, Swindon Town to Cardiff City (trial).
