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.Johan Cruyff and his allies at Ajax went to court yesterday to block the appointment of Louis van Gaal as the club's new director in the latest step of a bitter boardroom battle.
Cruyff is on the Ajax supervisory board that controls the day-to-day running of the club. He drew up a plan this year to revitalise the famous Ajax youth training program by staffing it with respected former players. He says Van Gaal's appointment – made by other board members without consulting Cruyff – does not fit into his reform agenda.
