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.

SALFORD, nicknamed the Red Devils, cited their image as a family club when they turned down a pounds 1m sponsorship offer from a satellite television company who broadcast an adult channel called Red Hot Dutch. 'We didn't feel the product was the right one to promote,' David Tarry, the club's chief executive, said.

PHIL McKENZIE, the Widnes' Australian hooker, has been signed on a month's loan by Rochdale Hornets, the club he first joined after arriving in England during the 1985-86 season.
