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.

Neath are changing the name of their ground from Foster's Gnoll to Courage Gnoll and will receive a five-figure sum for doing so. The South Wales club are also on the brink of a six-figure kit sponsorship deal with Reebok - under a two-year agreement they would have a black kit at home and a gold and navy kit for away matches.

Two more players have left Gloucester, bringing the number of departures from Kingsholm this week to eight. John Hawker, the long-serving hooker who deputised regularly for the England reserve Phil Greening in Gloucester's first-team games last season, has decided to leave, along with scrum-half Laurie Beck.
