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.

Greater London Leopards came from behind to record a thrilling one-point Budweiser League success over Derby Storm last night. Leopards' Tim Moore scored the winning basket right on the buzzer to steal the points from a Storm side who had led virtually from start to finish. Derby's Rico Alderson top-scored with 30 points.

The No 1 pick from the American NBA draft last year, Michael Olowokandi, had another disappointing game as his Italian team, Kinder Bologna, went down to a 74-72 double-overtime loss to their cross-city rivals, TeamSystem, in the Euro League play-offs last night.
