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.

Peter Bromage, currently treasurer of the Rugby Football Union, has been nominated by the RFU Committee to be the first holder of the newly created post of chairman of the executive committee. Bromage's move to one of the two most powerful jobs in English rugby is expected to be approved at the July AGM. Bromage is also chairman of the Test and County Cricket Board disciplinary committee.
The RFU has now agreed that women can become full members of the national committee. The decision was taken after Beverley Ann Davis's attempt to become Cornwall's representative was thwarted by the RFU's insistence that women were not eligible. Davis took her case to the Equal Opportunities Commission.
