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.

LAURIE MAINS confirmed yesterday that he wants to continue as the New Zealand coach and take the All Blacks to the 1995 World Cup in South Africa. 'The easy thing would be to walk away but I've made a commitment to do a job,' Mains said. 'I think I have the responsibility to give the New Zealand Rugby Football Union the opportunity to reappoint me. If they don't, then I haven't let anybody down if I don't get selected.'
