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.

Reading's home game with Birmingham City, scheduled for 1 October, has been postponed because the visitors will have three players, Barry Horne, Jason Bowen and Andy Legg, away on international duty with Wales. A new date has yet to be arranged.

The World Cup qualifier between the former Balkan war enemies Bosnia and Croatia has been moved forward a day to 8 October. The Group One match, which will be played on the neutral ground of Renato dall'Ara Stadium in Bologna, Italy, was brought forward to avoid clashing with a Group Two qualifier between Italy and Georgia in Perugia.
