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.

A YOUTH football team insists it is improving - despite conceding 49 goals in its first two games this season.

Red Hall Rangers, from Darlington, Co Durham, ended the first match against Esh Winning Under-18s 25-0 down. However, in their next fixture, against West Auckland Juniors, the defeat was only 24-0.

A team spokesman said the players had not expected to set the Auckland and District Youth League alight but no one had prepared them for their first two disasters.

They were showing signs of improvement and there was 'nothing wrong' with David Dean, the goalkeeper. He was let down by the defence.
