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.

THERE was movement yesterday in all of the three major American sports suffering turmoil over industrial relations.

Ice hockey club owners made a revised offer to the players after six hours of talks, the first contact between the sides since last week's decision to postpone the season until 15 October.

In basketball, club owners met last night to discuss their differences with the players over salary caps, free agency, college drafts and the way the sport's money is distributed.

And the latest moves in baseball saw the owners call for a 45-day delay in the start of the period to sign players.
