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.

Cricket

Ed Giddins, the 25-year-old fast bowler who is banned from first-class cricket until April 1998 after testing positive for cocaine while playing for Sussex against Kent last summer, hopes to play for the Kent League club, Bromley, this year. Bromley's rivals, Gore Court, have issued a protest - they have been refused permission to sign Kenny Benjamin, the West Indian fast bowler, following new Kent League restrictions on international players. Gore Court claim these rules should also exclude Giddins, who has signed a contract for Warwickshire.
