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.

A busy weekend of league and cup hockey includes the top four Premier sides playing each other today, with second-placed Reading visiting Cannock and the leaders, Old Loughtonians, travelling to fourth-placed Southgate.

At the bottom, Havant, with no points, entertain Guildford, who last weekend came from behind to beat Reading 5-3.

Havant's Premiership survival could rest on the outcome of tomorrow's cup game, when Beeston visit Yeovil and Sherborne. If his side loses, the Yeovil captain, Rob Hill, the former Great Britain and Havant penalty corner specialist, could return to help his old club fight for survival.

Since Hill's successor, Callum Giles, left for the Dutch club HGM at the beginning of the season, Havant have struggled. Hill's return could be crucial.
