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.

Rob Wainwright has pulled out of the Watsonians team for the Tennents Cup final against Hawick at Murrayfield on Saturday. He has not recovered from a groin injury suffered at the Scotland squad training session last weekend.

The Queensland hooker Michael Foley has been suspended from his team's final Super 12 league match for stamping during Saturday's match against Natal. A disciplinary panel studied video evidence before over-ruling a submission from the referee Tappa Henning that no malice was intended.
