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.

Huddersfield Town piled more pressure on Birmingham City's manger, Trevor Francis, by beating the Blues 3-0 at the McAlpine Stadium in the Nationwide First Division last night.

Marcus Stewart, Huddersfield's pounds 1.2m summer signing from Bristol Rovers, set up the first goal for Rob Edwards and scored the second before suffering an ankle injury. Paul Dalton, his replacement, added the third as Birmingham, second from bottom, could not contain a vibrant Huddersfield side.

Bobby Mihailov, who plays in the First Division for Reading, was the hero as 10-man Bulgaria resurrected their World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-1 victory in Luxembourg last night. Bulgaria, who lost their opening Group Five game to Israel, had their substitute Ivan Vassilev sent off after an hour.
