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.

READING RECLAIMED the EHA Cup, presented by the Hockey Writers' Club, yesterday when they beat the holders Cannock in a penalty shoot- out after a 4-4 draw.

It meant sweet revenge for Reading for their defeat last Monday when Cannock took the National League title, also in a shoot-out after a 3- 3 draw. Both teams take their places in Europe for next season - Cannock in the senior Club Championship and Reading in the Cup Winners Cup.

England women maintained their impressive form in the Four Nations Tournament in Dublin yesterday when they beat Ireland 3-1 in their final game to maintain their maximum points.

Tina Cullen, with two goals in the opening 14 minutes, set England on their way and, although Aslene Thompson pulled a goal back for the host nation, Sarah Blanks restored England's two-goal margin midway through the second half.
