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.

Both teams have injury concerns. Sutton could be without Jane Sixsmith, who missed last weekend's Tests against Australia with damaged ribs while Slough have Karen Brown doubtful with a hamstring injury sustained in the first Test. While Slough, with their vast array of talent, can cope without Brown, the loss of Sixsmith to Sutton will be a major blow.
Third-placed Olton Terraquest play host to Clifton, in second, and defeat for the Midlanders would make their chances of overhauling the visitors slim. A win for Leicester, who expect to have their four internationals back, at Chelmsford would surely put the latter out of contention for the title.
