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.

MILLIONAIRE BUSINESSMAN Craig Brown revealed himself yesterday as the new owner of Birmingham Bullets, ending six months of uncertainty for the Budweiser League club following the return to Australia of the club's previous owner Harry Wrublewski.

Negotiations are "fairly well advanced", according to the League, with the deal likely to be concluded by the end of the week.

The 41-year-old Mr Brown's business has strong connections with the entertainment industry. His company, Audiocom.co.uk specialises in staging major events. They are involved which the Millennium Dome project and the company's previous involvement with basketball included last season's All Star game.
