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.

WALES'S participation in the World Sevens was in doubt last night with their team manager, Jim Mills, under pressure from his club, Widnes, to withdraw their four players from the trip. The expulsion of Wigan from the tournament in Sydney on the first weekend of February has hardened attitudes at Widnes against allowing their players to form the backbone of a Welsh squad.

ST HELENS are planning to sign the New Zealand Test prop, Ricky Cowan, to replace his fellow-countryman, Jarrod McCracken, who returned to his club, Canterbury, in Australia this week. Cowan is expected to arrive next week.
