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 Andrew, Gavin Hastings, Frano Botica and Peter Winterbottom will be at Walsall Rugby Club today to mark the playing retirement of Richard Moon, founder secretary of the Rugby Union Players' Union.

Scottish rugby is to adopt a new points system in next season's Tennent's Championship. Teams scoring four tries or more will gain an extra point and there will be four points for a win. In addition, there will be two points for a draw and one point for the losing side where the margin of defeat is seven points or less.
