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.Everton are set to sign a new three-year deal with kit manufacturer Nike, Press Association Sport understands.
The Toffees' existing deal with Le Coq Sportif expires in the summer and the club will make the switch for the start of the 2012-13 season.
Contrary to reports the new deal will not provide the suggested £10million cash windfall for manager David Moyes' transfer plans.
It is understood the contract with the global sportswear giant is along similar financial lines to the existing one which is about to end and there will be little difference in terms of up-front income.
However, where Everton hope to benefit is the utilisation of Nike's worldwide reach in order to widen their market base.
And by aligning themselves with a premier sporting brand the club hope to be able to profit by expanding sales of other merchandise outside of just team shirts.
