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 Barla Great Britain Lions set off for their tour of South Africa yesterday with the 31-year-old Egremont scrum-half, John Brocklebank, skipper for the past two seasons, again named as captain.

The Silk Cut Challenge Cup quarter-final between Widnes and the holders, Wigan, will be screened by the BBC on Saturday 11 March (kick-off 2.15pm). The other ties will take place on Sunday 12 March.
