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.

Sheffield Steelers will meet Nottingham Panthers in the Challenge Cup final after a 1-1 draw at home to Cardiff Devils was enough for a 4-2 aggregate win.

A crowd of more than 4,000 saw Steve Ellis net a 50th minute equaliser for Sheffield following Dennis Maxwell's opening score for the Devils after 10 minutes.

In the Elite League, Manchester Phoenix beat Belfast Giants 5-4 while Panthers were victorious 6-3 at Coventry Blaze. Phoenix struck three times in 10 second-half minutes through Chad Brandimore, David Cozier and Darcy Anderson and held on despite a late Giants fightback.

Coventry were leading 3-1 at one stage but two-goal David Clarke put Panthers in control.
