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.

Somerset have signed former West Indies captain Chris Gayle for this year's Friends Life t20 campaign. The powerful opener is one of the world's best batsmen in the shortest format, hitting the highest score in T20 internationals with his 117 against South Africa in 2007.

Gayle said: "I am delighted to be heading to Somerset, they are a great club and, hopefully, I can make a key contribution to their T20 campaign this year."
