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.

CRICKET

Gloucestershire have signed the Australian one-day international all- rounder, Ian Harvey, as their overseas player for the 1999 season. Harvey, who has played 11 limited-overs games for his country, has essentially been recruited because of his medium-paced bowling, but he is also expected to make a valuable contribution as a middle-order batsman.

Paul Hutchison, the left-arm England A swing bowler, has been ruled out of Yorkshire's pre-season tour to South Africa because of his troublesome back injury.
