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.

With play in four pools of four teams, two at each centre, the competition has drawn teams from New York, Canberra and Vienna. British opposition is led by Capercaillies, the Scottish national squad, and Old Loughtonians, the English champions.
Southgate and Reading, third and fourth in the National League, have strong squads in Barcelona for the annual Los Reyes tournament, which is celebrating its centenary. The county champions, Surrey, with 10 players from the Surbiton club, and Grange, of Scotland, will also be at the Polo club.
Soma Singh, who has been on the injury list since returning from the Atlanta Olympics, makes a comeback for Southgate but they will be missing their player-coach, James Duthie (dislocated shoulder), and the Great Britain international Rowan Davis (on holiday).
