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.

MICHAEL ATHERTON and Graeme Hick are two surprise omissions from a nine-man list of England players offered guaranteed winter contracts by the Test and County Cricket Board yesterday, writes Martin Johnson.

Graham Gooch, Alec Stewart, Robin Smith, Jack Russell, Phillip DeFreitas and Chris Lewis have been offered contracts, worth around pounds 25,000, whether or not they are selected for England's full tour to India, or the A tour to Australia. Mark Ramprakash, Philip Tufnell, and Neil Fairbrother, are on contracts of around pounds 15,000.
