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.

Chris Stokes and Scott Wagstaff are two of four players released by Forest Green

Adam Smith and Shawn McCoulsky will also leave Rovers when their contracts expire this summer.

A club statement announcing the retained list read: “FGR would like to place on record our thanks to all of the players for their hard work and dedication this season, a campaign like no other – which started without fans but ended with an outstanding reception from supporters last night (Sunday).”

Aaron Collins, Udoka Godwin-Malife, Lewis Thomas and Taylor Allen have all been offered new deals by the Sky Bet League Two club.
