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.

Laurent Benezech, the French international prop, has signed for Harlequins as cover for club captain Jason Leonard.

Cardiff are to become a limited company. A new company will be formed with Peter Thomas, the club's financial backer, as the major investor, and members will be invited to become shareholders.

Bridgend are to begin work next week on a multi-million pound project to give them the second biggest ground in Wales. The club are almost certain to move from their council-owned Brewery Field ground to the former German prisoner-of-war camp known as Island Farm.
