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.

The British and Irish Lions have returned to South Africa for the first time in 12 years, desperate to repeat their victory their last time.

Having survived a scare in their opening warm-up match against a Royal XV at the weekend, the Lions take on Golden Lions tonight, hoping to start showing the form that can beat the Springboks.

Something that could inspire the current players on tour would be the ambition of beating one of the records, facts or stats we've compiled from previous Lions tours.
