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.

Ambitious Barrow have signed Jamie Rooney on loan from Wakefield for the rest of the season and he will make his debut for them against Toulouse tonight.

"He's a class act and has a proven record," said the Championship club's chairman, Des Johnston, who is also pursuing Warrington's Lee Briers, out of contract at Bradford at the end of this season.

St Helens' progress at the top of Super League could be disrupted over the next month by their hooker Keiron Cunningham's absence. He has had a minor knee operation in the hope of being fit for the Challenge Cup semi-final against Huddersfield next month.

Richie Myler, Salford's much sought after scrum-half, is again out of their team to face Saints tomorrow. Myler, the subject of an offer from Warrington, is struggling with a heel injury.
