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.

US stretch Ireland

Ireland concluded their preparations for the Five Nations' Championship on a successful note in Atlanta yesterday with a 25-18 victory over the United States. But they had to be content with only one try - from wing Richard Wallace - to the Eagles' two. The Irish were restricted to penalties and substitute outside-half Paul Burke and Eric Elwood cashed in. Burke, who replaced the injured Elwood after 49 minutes, landed three from three attempts, after Elwood had kicked three penalties and converted Wallace's try.
