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.

Northampton have become the first club from outside the heartlands to be admitted to the semi-professional Championship 1 for 2013.

The new outfit will be owned by Northampton Town Football Club and will play at their Sixfields Stadium.

Elsewhere, Hull KR have joined the mourning for Arthur Beetson, their former player who was one of the greats of the Australian game. He has died at his Gold Coast home aged 66.
