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 Sheffield Steelers could fold in the next 48 hours unless the club can find a short-term financial rescue package. Steelers are preparing for what could be their final game at the Sheffield Arena tomorrow against Nottingham Panthers. The club have been unable to recover from debts of pounds 400,000, despite a donation of pounds 100,000 from their Spain-based owner George Dodds, and a further pounds 100,000 independently raised by supporters.

Nottingham Panthers gained an emphatic 6-3 Sekonda Superleague victory at London Knights last night. Victory for the Panthers moves them to within six points of the leaders Manchester Storm. They lie one point adrift of second-placed Cardiff Devils, whom they meet on Boxing Day.
