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.

Chester Jets, the unlikely joint leaders of the Budweiser League at Christmas, will go clear at the top of the table over the new year period providing they beat the Worthing Bears tonight and the Sheffield Sharks lose against their cup final opponents, the London Leopards, tomorrow.

The Jets have finished in the league's bottom three for the past three seasons but this season they have won 10 out of 15 games and are a home banker against struggling Worthing Bears tonight. Sheffield beat the Leopards, 104-100, at the London Arena last month in a controversial clash when nine players were fouled out of the match.

London Towers, the defending league champions in a three-way tie at the top, have a free weekend.
