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 unlikely women's Premier League leaders, Chelmsford, travel to Ipswich today to face a side languishing at the bottom with just one point from their opening three games.
The Chelmsford squad, already strengthened this season with the return of Becky Alltree and Cathy Gilliat-Smith from Loughborough University, will this weekend see their goalkeeper, Katie Roberts, available again after her recent stint with Great Britain in the USA.
Encounters between these East Anglian rivals are usually pretty competitive and today's game is unlikely to be any different. Tomorrow, Chelmsford travel to Camberley in the second round of the EH Cup, while Ipswich entertain Hampstead & Westminster.
The defending champions, Slough, face Fyffes Leicester at Upton Court, where both sides will be missing key players with the British squad in Argentina. Slough's coach, Lesley Hobley, has this week been named as the new coach of Welsh women following the departure of Margaret Medlow.
Just a short distance away at Bisham Abbey, Jason Lee, the new coach of the Great Britain men's side, will be assessing his squad for their upcoming tour of New Zealand when they play the second of two games against England B on Sunday morning. The teams first met yesterday evening.
