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.

I know it's for charity, but I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than watch Soccer Aid between England and the Rest of the World at Old Trafford. Saying that, I would pay good money to see "comedian" Patrick Kielty get a good kicking. Ditto Gordon Ramsay. Mike Myers plays, so chants of "you fat bastard" are allowed.
Tomorrow
Andy Murray gets back on the grass (let's hope he's not drug-tested) and begins the defence of his Queen's Club crown.
Tuesday
If you've bought tickets for the final day of the Second Test between England and Bangladesh, you're either (a) insane or (b) psychic. If it's the latter, what are Wednesday's Lottery numbers?
Wednesday
Fans (and they'll be lucky if it's plural) head for Russia versus England Saxons in the Churchill Cup in Colorado.
Thursday
As big fans of our columnist David Flatman, we've fingers crossed that the bald-headed Bath boy gets the nod as Martin Johnson announces his England team for the First Test against the Wallabies in Perth.
Friday
If you're Welsh, Scottish or Irish, you may need reminding that the World Cup kicks off. We start with the opposite of a humdinger as South Africa play Mexico in Johannesburg. Uruguay take on France in a much more interesting game.
Saturday
What this tournament needs is an out-of-sorts England scraping a 1-0 win over the United States, gaining revenge for 1950! Diego Maradona will be worth watching as Argentina face Nigeria.
