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.

MIDDLESEX won cricket's County Championship yesterday without needing to take the field.

The title came their way when Northamptonshire, the only side capable of catching them, failed to beat Leicestershire. Mike Gatting, the Middlesex captain, will receive a pounds 47,500 cheque on behalf of the county.

Having beaten Essex in two days on Friday, Middlesex have secured the Championship for the twelfth time with three matches still to go. They last won the title in 1990.
