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.

Doncaster Rovers will meet Dagenham & Redbridge in the inaugural Nationwide Conference play-off final at Stoke City's Britannia Stadium on Saturday after penalty shoot-out victories in yesterday's semi-final second legs.

With the scores level at 1-1 after last week's first leg in South Yorkshire, Chester took a 31st-minute lead at the Deva Stadium courtesy of Wayne Hatswell but Paul Barnes scrambled in the equaliser for Rovers in the 57th minute. With no further score after extra time, Rovers went through 4-3 on penalties.

Dagenham also advanced on penalties (3-2) after they lost their second leg to Morecambe by a 2-1 margin at Christie Park to leave the scores equal at 3-3 on aggregate.
