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.

The Premier League is in full swing as the third weekend of England’ top tier gets under way ahead.

Crystal Palace will be looking to get their season up and running as they take on Swansea in what could well prove to be a battle between two prime relegation contenders.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield Town take on Mauricio Pellegrino’s Southampton as they hope to continue their dream start to life in the Premier League following two wins from two.

West Ham travel to Newcastle United on the back of two consecutive defeats. It's a similar story for Rafa Benitez’s side who were beaten 1-0 by the Terriers on the opening weekend of the new season before losing 2-0 at home against Tottenham.

Watford round off proceedings for the 3pm kick-offs as they entertain Premier League new boys Brighton at Vicarage Road.

Manchester United and Leicester bring today’s fixtures to a close when they meet at Old Trafford at 5.30pm.
