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 Welsh Rugby Union has launched a publicity campaign aimed at promoting the game among schoolchildren. Backed by Volkswagen, who will put in pounds 500,000 over the next three years, there will be a recruitment drive aimed at finding 1,000 new coaches. The Welsh national squad will be used for promotion, their players' fund receiving an extra pounds 15,000 per annum which will guarantee those players who figure in all Test matches this season pounds 1,500.

TOUR MATCH (Apia, Western Samoa) Western Samoa Development XV 16 Maori All Blacks 27.
