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.

Williams still has nine games to serve of an 18-match ban, imposed in Australia for what was described as one of the worst incidents of its type in recent years. He was suspended for a blind-side punch on Wests Tigers' Mark O'Neill, but London have rescued his career with a one-year contract.

Nathan Blacklock has arrived two weeks early for pre-season training at Hull, hoping to play in the pre-season friendly against Hull KR on 9 January.

The new Blackpool Panthers, who replace Chorley in National League 2, have agreed a two-year lease to play at Bloomfield Road, home of Blackpool FC.

The Rugby League has taken further steps to avoid future betting scandals by entering into an agreement with the online betting company, Betfair, who will advise them about any abnormal patterns of betting.
