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.

Second-placed Loughborough Students visit Teddington who, even if new signing Jason Nation is fit to make his debut, is unlikely to stop the Students' successful start to the season. Likewise, Reading are favourites for their visit to bottom club St Albans, who have yet to score a point this season.
Southgate are another club to take advantage of the Kolpak agreement to add foreign players to their ranks. South Africa's Olympic goalkeeper, Chris Hibbert, has been granted a work permit which has allowed the north London club to sign the Pakistan international, Ali Ghazanfar, and the South African, Bruce Jacobs. However, they will not be available for tomorrow's visit to Bath Buccaneers. Some clubs are now asking to reduce the number of players not holding a European Union passport from two to one.
There are unlikely to be any major shocks in the Women's EH Cup as a result of tomorrow's second games although at least six non-League teams will progress to the next round.
A minor upset could come at Slough, with the visit of Second Division Woking who include Australia's captain Nikki Hudson in their squad.
