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.

New York, Los Angeles and Phoenix were among the eight sites chosen on Wednesday for the inaugural Women's National Association season due to start next summer. Val Ackerman, the League president, announced Phoenix, Los Angeles (Lakers), Sacramento and Utah will comprise the Western Conference, while New York, Charlotte, Cleveland and Houston make up the Eastern Conference. The two-month schedule will be released in February, as will the team names and logos. The WNBA Draft will occur on 28 April with training camps opening 28 May and the regular season beginning on 21 June. US Women's national team members Rebecca Lobo and Sheryl Swoopes became the first two players to commit to the league last week.
