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.

Worthing Bears failed in their attempt to retain the Budweiser Championship Trophy by slipping to a 79-60 defeat against Sheffield on Wednesday night. The result puts Sheffield through to Wembley for the second consecutive year after they opened up a nine-point lead at the interval. They build on the early advantage to score 13 points without reply in the third quarter to put the game out of reach.
