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.

Yesterday, with both sides minus key players through injury, Reading, bounced back with aggressive, flowing hockey and strong finishing.
Southgate came back in the second half with goals from Eiko Rott and Andrew Grimes, but Reading never looked likely to surrender and won 5- 2 with Mark Pearn scoring twice.
Premier leaders Canterbury maintained their two-point lead at the top following their 4-3 win away to East Grinstead with Paul Wicken scoring twice. Second placed Cannock defeated Old Loughtonians 6-2 including a couple of goals from captain Kalbir Takher. In the First Division, Surbiton scored a 3-1 win at Havant to lead by a point from Doncaster.
