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.

Australia's National Rugby League clubs are discussing the future of the Tri-Nations at a two-day meeting in Sydney. Some clubs are against the competition being played every year, because of the danger of "burn-out" for players. The Australian captain, Darren Lockyer, however, said on his arrival home that the players are strongly in favour of it continuing, provided it can be reorganised to take them away for a shorter period.
