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.

Manchester Giants yesterday signed the England international Joel Moore from the Budweiser League leaders London Towers as they stepped up their title bid, writes Duncan Hooper.

Moore, who made his league debut 14 years ago and has won 43 England caps, found himself a victim of London's salary cap restrictions this season and made just seven appearances. Manchester, currently six points behind Towers with a game in hand, hope to have Moore, 31, registered in time for their match at Doncaster tomorrow.

Towers face Worthing Bears at Birmingham's NEC tonight in the 7-Up League Trophy final.

London, attempting to win their first title, slipped in their league quest last week when the Bears beat them for the first time in five meetings. Bears veteran Steve Nelson said: "We always believe we can beat them and last week we proved it to ourselves."
