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.

Craig McMillan and Chris Cairns rescued New Zealand today from the prospect of defeat and scored half-centuries to lead them to a four-wicket victory over India in the second Test at the Basin Reserve, in Wellington. The Kiwis resumed at 73 for 4 on the final morning and quickly lost Paul Wiseman for a duck before McMillan and Cairns laid the foundation for success. New Zealand lead the three-Test series 1-0 after the first Test was washed out without a ball being bowled. The final Test in Hamilton starts on 2 January.
