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.John Terry and his fellow Chelsea team-mates wore t-shirts with the slogan 'support equality' as they continue to distance themselves from the race storm that has battered the club's reputation this week.
The Chelsea skipper also condemned the 'unacceptable' incident on the Paris Metro in his programme notes, writing that the club "stands against all forms of discrimination."
The t-shirts also had the 'building bridges' slogan, the club's foundation, launched in 2010, that promotes equality in and outside of Stamford Bridge.
Fans also unveiled a banner that read 'black or white, we're all blue', while another held up a small placard that said 'no racism at the Bridge - that's the way we like it.'
Terry wrote: "Football is a sport for everyone, that is one of the main reasons we love it, and what happened on the Paris Metro on Tuesday was unacceptable.
"The club has reacted quickly to deal with the situation and will continue to do so."
