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.

England's cricketers are to have their own full-time union official. The move comes amid growing concern that proceeds from a new pounds 60m TV contract, negotiated this summer by the Test and County Cricket Board, may not filter down to the domestic professional game. The new salaried post will be filled from November following a meeting of the Cricketers' Association Executive Committee. David Graveney, the 41-year-old former Gloucestershire and Durham captain who has just retired from first class cricket, is expected to head a list of nominations for the position of general secretary to the players' union.
