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.

PEACE has finally been declared in the long-running feud between professional and amateur rugby league over the running of the sport at youth level. An agreement which gives the British Amateur Rugby League Association control of an under-18 league and raises the age limit in the professional Academy competition to 19 could also pave the way for a unified governing body. 'This new structure immediately removes the areas of previous conflict,' the Rugby League's chief executive, Maurice Lindsay, said. 'The spirit of unification is evident throughout the youth agreement.'
