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.

Catalan Dragons' Chris Walker is to face a disciplinary hearing today over a tackle that left an opponent with a broken jaw.

Hull KR's Liam Colbon is expected to be out for at least two months after a late, high tackle during the match at Perpignan on Saturday. Walker could be banned for four matches after being charged with illegal use of the forearm. Leeds' Ryan Bailey will appear at the same hearing, accused of a "chicken wing" tackle on Stuart Fielden of Wigan.

Salford's Rob Parker could be out for the season with a broken hand.
