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.

Durham have signed the 30-year-old Lancashire batsman Nick Speak on a three-year contract.

Martin Speight is to decide on his future at the end of the month after receiving an improved offer from Sussex. The 29-year-old is also waiting for an approach from Durham, who are understood to be keen to sign him as a full-time wicketkeeper.

Somerset have broken with an 82-year-old tradition by deciding to abandon their Weston-super-Mare festival next season, citing financial reasons. The home game against Kent, which had been scheduled for the festival, will now take place at Taunton.
