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.

Well done. Another great issue. But what's this in the OU Challenge quiz? Question 58: Which rugby team plays at the Stoop Memorial Ground? Answer: Harlequins.

Now, hang on a minute. Don't the London Broncos Rugby LEAGUE team play there as well? I think you'll find that they do.

Surely the OU isn't intent on joining the establishment in trying to promote Rugby Union as the "only" rugby in this country, is it? Perish the thought. As a D318 student I am, of course, interested in these things.

Anyway, keep up the good work.

Tony Hannan, West Yorkshire.
