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.

Gordon Milne, the former Coventry and Leicester manager, has been named as the new chief executive of the League Managers' Association. The 58-year-old Milne succeeds Jim Smith, now at Derby County, as the third full-time LMA chief, working alongside its chairman Howard Wilkinson, the Leeds manager.

Kevin Gallacher has been passed fit to start pre-season training with the Premiership champions, Blackburn Rovers. The 28-year-old Scot suffered a repeat leg fracture when he returned to action in April following the first break. Jason Wilcox has also been given the go-ahead for light work- outs after cruciate-ligament surgery and Paul Warhurst, another broken-leg victim, expects to follow suit after a specialist check-up.

Billy Kirkwood made his first move towards rebuilding Dundee United by making a pounds 250,000 swoop for the Rangers goalkeeper Ally Maxwell. The Tannadice manager, following United's first relegation in over 35 years, has signed the 30-year-old veteran on a three-year deal.
