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.

*The Bath head coach, Steve Meehan, believes his side are well set for a testing three-match run-in as they seek a play-off place after they resumed their winning ways in the Guinness Premiership with a 34-15 victory over Sale at the Recreation Ground on Saturday. "We were a little bit rusty but it was a good performance leading into Tuesday evening's game with Northampton," said Meehan, whose side then face Wasps before finishing the regular season at home to Leeds.

Saracens powered to a 37-18 win over Harlequins at Wembley, inspired by a spectacular display from their South African hooker Schalk Brits. "Schalk is a special player and must be one of the three best hookers in the world," Saracens' director of rugby Brendan Venter said.
