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.

Finally, rumours that Sunderland have lined up one of their former strikers, the Rangers forward Ally McCoist, as player-manager for next season were dismissed by the Wearsiders chairman John Featherstone and present incumbent Mick Buxton after yesterday's 1-0 defeat at Charlton.

"The speculation over people taking over my job doesn't disturb me," Buxton said. "I think I've got too much character to be bothered by that. In any case, what's new? There's always people linked with the Sunderland job.

"I don't accept it's a relegation dog fight for us," he added. "I am convinced my players can get us up the table."
