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.Found on the Web: Millwall
AS YOU make your way through this site, it quickly becomes apparent how hard the club are trying to shake off the bad old days of violence and racism. As well as all the usual news and profiles, there's a feature (`Black and blue') about black players in the club's past (including Trevor Lee, John Fashanu, Chris Armstrong, Phil Babb and Danny Wallace) and numerous banners, headings and flags carrying slogans such as "Lions have pride, not prejudice" and "You can't defend racism." There's also plenty of information on local community projects dealing with truancy and illiteracy. One club (and one web site) will not eradicate deep-rooted social problems, but you don't change anything by not trying.

Seen but not bought
AS WIGAN prepare for the Auto Windscreens Shield final against Milwall tomorrow, the club shop spokeswoman was full of praise for the Wembley range, including wigs at pounds 3.99. The top hat - "made of a cottony material and quite large" - costing pounds 6.99, was praised less. "They're not classy," the spokeswoman said. "They're an event hat really. Not something you'd wear out and about." What a sales pitch.
