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.

Spanish club Rayo Vallecano have released their new away kits for next season.

Not remarkable, you may think, but the away kit features a prominent rainbow sash that is to represent seven 'social injustices' found in Spain, while the third kit is support those battling cancer.

The club also carries the slogan 'solidarity' on the bottom of the shirts.

The colours represent:

- Cancer (Red)

- Disability (Orange)

- Depression (Yellow)

- The environment (Green)

- Child abuse (Blue)

- Domestic violence (Pink)

- The rainbow as a whole is to represent homophobia.

The club also announced that for every shirt sold they will give €7 (£5) to seven charities chosen to represent each one of the causes.

Well done.
