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.

STEVE PILGRIM, the Wasps and England B full-back, will be suspended from rugby union for at least one year after playing in a reserve-team game for Leeds rugby league club this week. 'If he has not taken any money (from Leeds) and does not go ahead with any rugby league ambitions, he can apply for reinstatement as an amateur rugby union player in one year,' Dudley Wood, the Rugby Football Union secretary, said yesterday.

ADRIAN DAVIES, the Wales B captain, has withdrawn from the side to face the Netherlands in 's-Hertogenbosch tomorrow with a groin injury, and has been replaced by Aled Williams, the Swansea outside-half.

CLUB MATCH: Ayr 6 Glasgow High-Kelvinside 30.
