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.Having lost their first match, and been two-down early in the second, England's women hope tomorrow to take their remarkable recovery a stage further and reach the final of Uefa Women's Euro 2009. It would be their first final since 1984, the inaugural competition.
England face the Netherlands, surprise quarter-final winners over France, for the right to meet Germany, the favourites, or Norway, in Thursday's final.
"We didn't start the tournament too well but with each game we've got better," said Everton midfielder Fara Williams. "We all know we haven't hit top form but to reach a semi-final without firing on all cylinders speaks volumes for our character. I think there's room for even more improvement and hopefully it will all come together on Sunday - and then in the final."
