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.

Sussex moved to the top of the South Group after recovering from a terrible start to convincingly beat Middlesex by 49 runs in the Friends Life t20 fixture at Lord's last night.

The visitors were 2 for 2 in the second over but solid contributions from Luke Wright, Lou Vincent and Murray Goodwin, allowed them to recover to 165 for 8.

Middlesex were then reduced to 61 for 4 halfway through their reply. Meanwhile, Nottinghamshire's Alex Hales hit 67 from 39 balls as they beat Warwickshire by 54 runs.
