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.

DAVID BOUVENG struck in the 90th minute as Halifax beat Bradford 21-16 at Odsal yesterday. The winger crashed over from Martin Moana's pass and Simon Baldwin's drop goal in injury time gave Halifax a win four days after their coach. John Pendlebury resigned, and then decided to stay.

Mark Aston, Sheffield Eagles' Lance Trophy winner in their Challenge Cup final victory, expects to be out for six to eight weeks after damaging tendons in his right hand in a DIY accident. With Dave Watson also missing the Eagles still managed their second Super League win of the season, 28-8, at Salford.
