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.

Liverpool lifted the FA Youth Cup for the first time with a 2- 1 victory over West Ham in front of 20,600 in the second leg at Anfield last night, giving them a 4-1 aggregate win. Michael Owen and Stuart Quin struck for Liverpool after Frank Lampard, son of the Hammers' assistant manager, had opened the scoring.

Leyton Orient have signed the veterans Alvin Martin and Les Sealey on free transfers from West Ham.

Rochdale have named Graham Barrow, formerly in charge at Wigan and Chester, as their new their manager in place of Mick Docherty, sacked this week.

Tony Cascarino, the Republic of Ireland striker, scored with a penalty to complete a 3-1 win for Marseille over Sochaux last night that ensured the former European champions' promotion to the French First Division after an absence of two years.
