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.

Sussex are to make a statement today amid reports that chairman Alan Caffyn is on the verge of resigning. The county's secretary, Nigel Bett, would neither confirm nor deny that Caffyn has bowed to the intense criticism of his handling of the county's crisis.

Caffyn's seven-year reign has come under fierce scrutiny since he said he believed the main reason for the mass exodus of top players from Hove was the "unpopularity" of the former captain Alan Wells.

This sparked a furious response from Wells, now with Kent, while Martin Speight also criticised Caffyn after joining Durham last week and urged members to "rise up" and help bring about change.
