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 West Indies brushed up their image in the final match of their tour of Sri Lanka by winning a rain-restricted limited- over contest in Colombo with five balls to spare to square the series at 1-1 with one match rained off. West Indies restricted Sri Lanka to 103 for 5 off 23 overs after Richie Richardson had won the toss. Keith Arthurton was named man of the match for his unbeaten 24. New Zealand coasted to a four-wicket victory over South Africa in a World Series Cup match in Hobart, Tasmania, after dismissing Kepler Wessels's side for 147.
