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.

England scored their first win in the world lacrosse championship in Bury yesterday when they beat the game's inventors, the Iruquois Nationals, 19-6. The home team got off to a slow start and only led 2-0 at the end of the first quarter, but stretched their lead in an eight-goal last quarter. Canada gave newcomers Japan their second thrashing of the week. The Canadians were too experienced for the Japanese, winning 33-7, with Oliver Marti scoring six goals; Japan's Shusuke Asahara scored three.
