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.Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng is one of three NBA players who have agreed to play in Britain's Olympic team.
British Basketball says Deng, Detroit Pistons guard Ben Gordon and Charlotte Bobcats centre Byron Mullens have "confirmed their commitment" for the Olympics.
They all feature in a 21-man preliminary squad. Deng has featured in the British team since 2007, but Gordon and Mullens are available for the first time. Britain's men's and women's teams have been allowed to compete at London 2012 without qualifying.
