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.

SRI LANKANS who have been starved of international cricket for five years because of civil unrest will stage two day/night matches in Colombo in August against an invitation side led by Sunil Gavaskar, the former Indian test captain. The visiting team will include India's Kapil Dev and Ravi Shastri, Steve Waugh of Australia, Pakistan's Abdul Qadir and South African Peter Kirsten. No test side has visited Sri Lanka since New Zealand were forced to cut short a tour in 1987 because of violence.
