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.

Australian Academy 231 and 194
England A win by 81 runs
PETER SUCH, the Essex off-spinner, finished with match figures of 11 for 144 as England A secured the first win of their Australian tour in Melbourne yesterday.
England A's total of 286 for 9 looked inadequate when the Academy raced to 164 for 3. Such then took two vital wickets as the Academy slumped to 194, their last seven wickets falling for 30 runs.
