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.

THE San Francisco Bay Blackhawks, the 1991 American Professional Soccer League champions, yesterday announced their intention to play in the Mexican First Division until the United States starts its own top-flight league, which is not planned until at least after the World Cup.

The Blackhawks, who withdrew from the APSL last year after losing several million dollars and complaining about the running of the league, are to ask permission from both the US and Mexican federations. The APSL, a five-team circuit last year, will play this summer with seven clubs.
