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.

London Irish playmaker Shane Geraghty has been ruled out of the rest of England's RBS 6 Nations campaign with Gloucester's Olly Barkley called up as his replacement.

Utility player Geraghty broke a bone in his hand during the Exiles' defeat against Wasps on Sunday.

It is the latest in a long line of injuries that have interrupted Gergahty's progress since making a huge impact on his debut as a replacement against France in the 2007 Championship.

Barkley, originally omitted from Martin Johnson's EPS squad, comes in for the game against France at Twickenham on Sunday.
