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 enthusiasm of Laszlo Nemeth, the England coach, to practice what he preaches has cost him a broken arm and the 46-year-old Hungarian has returned home for surgery.

Playing for City of Leeds in the local league, Nemeth adopted the correct defensive position to block an opponent's drive, but on taking the charge, crashed to the floor and fractured an elbow.

Watford Royals, bottom of the Budweiser League after losing all 12 games, hope to have new American Philip Powe for Saturday's visit to Derby.

They have also applied for a work permit for the American Cleave Lewis, who has been playing for National League Division One club Guildford.
