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.

THE world champion, Stephen Hendry, will take on Thailand's James Wattana in Bangkok this summer with pounds 50,000 at stake. The 51- frame Nescafe Extra Challenge between the world matchplay title- holder, Wattana, and the game's No 1 is the richest head-to-head match to be staged outside the UK. It will take place from 3 to 11 June with pounds 30,000 going to the winner.

PAT KENNY compiled a maximum 147 in his 5-3 first-round defeat of Andrew Clark in the Strachan Challenge Series at Woking, Surrey, yesterday.
