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.

Cannock and Reading both remain on course for the triple after victories in the semi-finals of the EH Cup yesterday.

At Guildford, Cannock were taken to extra-time after a 3-3 draw, and advanced courtesy of Martin Jones' decisive stroke in a 4-3 penalty shoot-out victory. They now face Reading, who came from behind to beat Loughborough Students 4-3.

Old Loughtonians celebrated last week's promotion to the Premier Division with a 4-1 win over Firebrands, with their veteran international Nicky Thompson scoring a hat-trick.

In the Second Division, Indian Gymkana's Tajinder Hanspal strengthened his case for an England call-up by taking his season's tally to 29 with five goals in his side's 6-2 win over Oxford Hawks. Hanspal has now scored 17 times in his last four games.

In the women's Premier Division, Ipswich kept alive their play-off hopes with a 3-2 win over defending champions, Slough.
