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.

Workington have complained to the Rugby Football League over Oldham's announcement that they had signed the centre Vince Fawcett. Workington, relegated from the Super League last season, maintain they still hold Fawcett's registration in Britain after his short spell for the Australian club, Parramatta, and have done no business with Oldham. "Oldham gave us the names of a few players they were willing to exchange but we weren't interested," said John Donovan, the chief executive, who values Fawcett at pounds 40,000.

FRIENDLY MATCHES: Huddersfield 40 Keighley 10; Leeds 6 Halifax 14; Wigan 32 St Helens 22. Postponed: Workington v Carlisle; Batley v Dewsbury.
