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.

Widnes Vikings will be without their winger Roy Litherland for Sunday's Silk Cut Challenge Cup fifth-round home tie against the Super League club Salford Reds. Litherland could be out for two months after breaking an arm in last night's Alliance defeat at Hunslet Hawks.

Oldham have received special permission from the Rugby League to play London Broncos in a friendly match at Boundary Park a week on Sunday.

St Helens are to play their home Super League fixture against Warrington on 26 April at Anfield after the success of a match there against Castleford last season.
