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.

From Mr Lewis Eckett

Sir: Fast, skilful, super-fit ball- players prepared to take tackles, break tackles and off-load the ball to supporting men whose only aim is to reach the try line.

Where do you think New Zealand got the idea for their irresistible power rugby from? Videos of the Five Nations? More likely Laurie Mains and his boys have been watching Auckland Warriors against Brisbane Broncos or Canberra Raiders in rugby league's Winfield Cup.

Yours sincerely,

LEWIS ECKETT
