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.

Yorkshire booked their place in the Friends Life t20 finals day with a 29-run victory over Worcestershire at Headingley.

After the hosts chose to bat first, Joe Root got the momentum going with 65 off 40 balls. Then the Zimbabwean Gary Ballance smashed 46 off 20 balls and South Africa's David Miller made 50 off 25 balls to allow Yorkshire to post a formidable 212 for 5 in their 20 overs. Phil Hughes remained unbeaten on 80 off 53 balls for the visitors but the Australian received little support as the run-chase subsided on 183 for 6.

Hampshire also made it to the finals late last night, beating Nottinghamshire by four wickets.
