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.

BRACKNELL, from the Second Division of the Women's National League, have not been scoring many goals this season but will tomorrow morning score a first when they become the first club to fly to a League fixture. The Berkshire side, away to Sunderland Bedans, fly to Newcastle thanks to generous support from their sponsor, Burton's Biscuits, writes Bill Colwill.

For coach John Barrett, who has decided after five years to seek pastures new at the end of the season, the priority tomorrow afternoon must be goals.

Two First Division teams who have been busy in the transfer market this season, Ealing and First Personnel Sutton Coldfield, clash at Barclays Bank in what could be the day's outstanding fixture. Ealing will be hoping that their New Zealand winger, Kate Trolove, who last time out in her first league game scored both goals, will be able to make inroads into Sutton's solid defence.

League leaders Ipswich will be looking for a win at Clifton to ensure that they go into the mid-season break clear of second placed Hightown, who face a tough visit to Leicester Balsam.
