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.

Five goals in as many minutes helped Sheffield Steelers beat Cardiff Devils 6-4 at the Sheffield Arena on Sunday night and maintain their lead in the Elite League table.

The visitors went 3-1 ahead early in the second period but Mike Peron's 32rd-minute shot launched Sheffield's fightback, Kevin Bolibruck, Dion Darling, Gerad Adams and Joel Irving - his second of the night - scoring in rapid succession to clinch victory.

Coventry Blaze maintained their unbeaten run with a 4-2 win over Belfast Giants to go clear in second place. Steve Chartrand gave Coventry the lead in the eighth minute, Steve Gallace making it two just before the break.

Ashley Tait and Gallace's second goal put the game beyond Belfast's reach but they staged a late rally in the final period, Paxton Schulte and Curt Bowen scoring consolation goals.
