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 Towers, the Budweiser League champions, have been grouped with Verona (Italy), Ankara (Turkey), Podgorica (Yugoslavia), Kormend (Hungary) and Tblisi (Georgia) in the first round of the European Cup. London will open in Verona on 18 September and play each team home and away.

Gary Payton, the Seattle SuperSonics guard who was passed over by the USA Committee the first time around, was named as replacement for Glenn Robinson on "Dream Team III" on Saturday. Robinson, who plays for the Milwaukee Bucks, earlier this week resigned from the team going to the Atlanta Olympics next month because of tendinitis in his right Achilles.
