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.

AUSTRALIA are to play in Cumbria on this autumn's tour after all, with a match against the county at Workington Town, writes Dave Hadfield.

The Kangaroos will now begin their tour on 2 October at Derwent Park following dismay in Cumbria that, for the first time, the tour was not scheduled to visit one of the game's heartlands.

The Rugby League has admitted concern about the position of Doncaster. Doncaster have said that they are unable to pay their debts and their future is in doubt.

Oldham yesterday completed the signing of Paul Davidson, the Widnes prop, by agreeing to pay pounds 17,000 for the 24-year-old Cumbrian.
