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.

BARRY HEARN, who manages Steve Davis among others, has resigned from the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association because the governing body has decided not to sanction several events which Hearn promotes, including the World Matchplay. 'I believe the board's decision represents a serious restraint of trade and I intend to pursue my claims vigorously,' Hearn said. Davis said: 'In the light of the board's decision I must obviously review my own position on the board.'
