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.

Leigh's coach, Darren Abram, praised his players for refusing to give up hope after they secured their first Super League win last night. The newly promoted Centurions had lost their first seven games and some pundits suggested they would not win a game. But Abram's side proved a point with a superb fightback to overcome the London Broncos 24-22 at the Coliseum.

Leigh had trailed 16-2, but Rob Jackson's try eight minutes from time allowed Neil Turley to complete the comeback with a nerveless touchline conversion. Abram said: "The lads never gave up. All the hard work we have put in has paid dividends. I am proud of every one of them."

A Brett Dallas try six minutes from time helped Wigan - missing seven first-team regulars through injury - to win 21-15 at Hull. In last night's other game, Huddersfield recorded a 26-12 home victory over Salford.
