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.

Nash has yet to play this season and is flying back to New Zealand on medical advice for a long period of rest. The 24-year-old from Auckland first came to prominence on the 1994 New Zealand tour, when he was leading wicket-taker in the three-match Test series with 17, and he was signed by Middlesex for last season. He took 51 championship wickets in 1995 at an average of 27.21.
