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.

Here's a sentence that doesn't end as you'd expect. "In these seven portraits of Yorkshire cricketers… I have tried to map a sexual earthquake."

Stemming from Darren Gough's triumph on Strictly Come Dancing, this eccentric project is full of weird conjunctions: W.G.Grace (a few non-Yorkies also get in) scored 1,000 runs in the month Wilde was sentenced; G.Boycott was "born in the same decade as Davd Bowie"; F.S.

Trueman once wrote about love: "My stomach was doing cartwheels." All a bit odd but it will pass a rainy session at Headingley.
