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.

The preparations of the England coach, Laszlo Nemeth, for tonight's European Championship semi-final against Latvia in Leicester went ahead without the 6ft 9in Spencer Dunkley, who failed to join the team from his French club Limoges on Monday night and is believed to be in America.

Steve Nelson, the Worthing Bears player, is recovering from a cartilage operation knowing his immediate future is safe after winning his case for breach of contract against his former club, Thames Valley Tigers. Reading County Court awarded the former England international in excess of pounds 3,200 - plus legal costs - after a two-year battle with the Budweiser League club. Nelson underwent surgery on his knee this week and will be out of action for up to six weeks.
