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.

Jon Sleightholme, the England wing, has been dropped by Bath for the European Cup match against Edinburgh on Saturday. Sleightholme, makes way for Jason Robinson, the club's new signing from the Wigan rugby league team.

North Berwick have had two points deducted after failing to turn up for a match in the National League at Highland last month. The Fourth Division club have also been put on probation by the Scottish Rugby Union's championship committee for the rest of the season.
