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.South Africa lock Alistair Hargreaves has agreed a deal to join Saracens next season.
The 25-year-old currently plays for Super 15 side the Sharks, but will switch to the Premiership for the start of the 2012/13 campaign, where he will play alongside fellow Springboks John Smit and Schalk Brits.
"Everybody in South African rugby knows there is something special happening at Saracens, and I can't wait to get stuck in and make a contribution to the continuing development of the club," said Hargreaves, who has won four caps for South Africa, in a statement.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for me at a crucial stage of my rugby career."
Mark McCall, Saracens' director of rugby, said: "Alistair has a fantastic pedigree in SA Rugby, and we are confident he will flourish in our environment."
