Workington work wonders
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.

Kurt Sorensen put his faith in Workington's youngsters and was rewarded with a 32-10 win against London Broncos - his first win since mid-September and only the team's third in the championship.
The Workington coach promoted five players from the Alliance side and all made significant contributions, particularly the centre Leigh Smith and the scrum-half Mark Keenan, while John Allen scored his first senior try within five minutes of coming on as a substitute.
Halifax staged a late fightback to earn a 26-26 draw at Castleford. They looked finished at 26-14 down but bounced back with tries from the substitute Carl Gillespie and the winger Damian Munro, who chased a kick from Martin Ketteridge to go over six minutes from time. Ketteridge added the conversion to level the scores.
Peter Roe, the Barrow coach, resigned after the Cumbrians threw away an eight point lead at home to lose 28-8 in their Second Division match against Bramley. "Without players I cannot work miracles," he said.
