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.

Manchester Storm had Mike Torchia to thank as they recorded their first Superleague victory of the season on Sunday. The net- minder faced 46 shots as London Knights were beaten 3-2 at the Docklands Arena.

Pierre Allard and Joe Cardarelli put Storm 2-0 ahead before Dennis Maxwell reduced the deficit in the second period. The Great Britain captain, David Longstaff, sealed victory four minutes from time, with Vezio Sacratini's goal not enough to save London from their third straight league loss.

Sheffield Steelers continued their winning start to the seaon beating last year's champions, Belfast Giants, 1-0 at the House of Steel.
