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.

Alex Ferguson, manager of Manchester United, has agreed to send a full-strength team to Maine Road to play Manchester City on Sunday 5 October for the testimonial of Paul Lake, the former Manchester City midfielder whose career was ended early by injury.

The former Stoke City manager Alan Durban is going back to the Potteries' club as No 2 to the current manager, Chic Bates.

Wolves are confident of beating Sunderland and Brentford to sign striker Jason Roberts, the 19-year-old cousin of Cyrille Regis, after agreeing a pounds 200,000 fee with the Vauxhall Conference club Hayes.

Birmingham City's long pursuit of Port Vale's Jon McCarthy ended last night when the clubs agreed a pounds 1.5m fee for the Northern Ireland winger. The deal equals Birmingham's record outlay and beats the highest sum received by the Potteries club. McCarthy, once given a free transfer by Hartlepool, cost Vale pounds 450,000 from York two years ago. Another Birmingham target, the Wales midfielder John Robinson, is staying with Charlton after Trevor Francis' pounds 1m bid was rejected.
