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.

AN intriguing marketing campaign has been launched in the Caribbean. Directly behind the wicket at the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad are two hoardings advertising London Irish RFC. Almanack called the struggling Courage League club's general manager, David Coleman. What is the point of the campaign? 'We're trying to recruit some 6ft 10in Caribbean forwards,' Coleman said. 'We're spreading our net wider, looking for talent all over the world.'

Almanack suspects the Exiles' man was being a little disingenuous. But his club are threatened with relegation from the top division at the moment, and you've got to admit that Curtly would be useful at the back of the line-out.
