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 and Birmingham Bullets maintained their momentum in the Budweiser League title race last night, while Derby Storm's play- off prospects improved with a 73-71 win over Thames Valley Tigers, writes Richard Taylor.

Eric Burkes, with 37 points, led Leopards to a 96-84 win at Watford Royals, and Reggie Kirk scored 22 points in Birmingham's 88-73 win at Manchester Giants, keeping them two points behind the leaders, Leopards.

Ted Berry's basket 70 seconds from time clinched Derby's win over Thames Valley, but London Towers suffered another shock defeat, 87-84 at Crystal Palace.
