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.

MARK CONSIDINE, the Leicester City Riders centre, deserted the English game this week to sign for the Belgian club, Ghent, writes Duncan Hooper.

The Riders received a paltry pounds 1,000 fee for the player, who was determined to leave the First Division club after last month being denied a move to Doncaster Panthers, the Second Division leaders.

Considine's departure has increased the frustration at Leicester who are trying to cling to a top eight place in the division, which will earn them a berth in the quarter-finals of the play-offs.

Doncaster face one of the strongest challenges to their promotion drive tonight, away to third-placed Crystal Palace, who then play second-placed Middlesbrough Mohawks tomorrow. Palace's task is to win enough games to open up the promotion race.
