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.Blackburn fans are to take to the streets again to stage another protest march ahead of this weekend's home match against Norwich.
Rovers have lost their last five games, conceding 13 goals, and are three points from safety with just four fixtures remaining.
Back-to-back wins over Wolves and Sunderland last month appeared to have lifted the club out of trouble but their current run has dropped them back in and angry fans are stepping up their campaign with more protests against owners Venky's and manager Steve Kean.
"To the people of Blackburn, this is no longer just about losing football matches, this is about the very future of the football club and the very fabric of Blackburn," said a statement from the BRFC Action Group.
"Our football club is a 137-year-old institution which has seen its traditions and values destroyed in less than 18 months.
"It takes only a few hands to bulldoze our club but it will take many hands to rebuild it and the whole community needs to come together to breathe life back into Blackburn Rovers.
"Venkys cannot make us feel inferior if we do not give them our consent.
"Words divide us, actions unite us and if we are unified there is nothing that we cannot achieve."
The BRFC's "community march" will leave Blackburn Town Hall at 1.30pm on Saturday and proceed to Ewood Park.
