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.The Canterbury Bulldogs took a dramatic extra-time win over Parramatta in their qualifying final yesterday to earn a meeting with the Brisbane Broncos in next weekend's Australian National Rugby League grand final. Canterbury came from 18-2 down with 11 minutes left to take the match into extra time before they beat the Parramatta Eels 32-20.
One of rugby league's legends, Alan Prescott, the former St Helens and Great Britain forward, died yesterday in a Wigan hospital at the age of 71 after a long illness. Prescott, a front row who made 28 Test appearances from 1951-58, defied the pain of a broken arm, sustained in the opening minutes of the second Test in Brisbane on the 1958 tour to Australia, to play for the full 80 minutes.
