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.

WIGAN have signed Wakefield Trinity's 19-year-old stand-off, Nigel Wright, for a fee of about pounds 150,000, and have released Steve Hampson, the former Great Britain full-back, to Halifax on a free transfer.

GREAT BRITAIN's Young Lions made a disappointing start to their tour of Australia when they were beaten 20-6 by Northern Territory in Darwin yesterday. Neil Thompson gave the tourists an early lead with a penalty, but they trailed 10-2 at the interval. Alf Gouldbourne scored a try for Britain soon after half-time, but the home side did not allow them any further points.

TOUR MATCH (Darwin, Aus): Northern Territory 20 Great Britain Young Lions 6.
