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.

Great Britain's women earned a 20-18 victory over Auckland in the second game of their tour of New Zealand. Teresa Bruce, Vicky Studd, Joanne Hewson and Brenda Dobek all scored tries and Dobek kicked two goals as the Britons struck back from a 10-8 half-time deficit.

The First Division leaders, Wakefield Trinity, have sought to ward off Super League clubs by re-signing their promising full-back, Martin Holland, on a new three-year contract.

St Helens have offered two-year contracts to the Gold Coast Chargers half-back Wes Patten and Phil Adamson, the Penrith Panthers forward.
