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.

Foreign Affairs, who landed a huge gamble when winning the John Smith's Cup at York in July, will run in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe on Sunday, his trainer, Sir Mark Prescott, confirmed yesterday. The three-year-old will be supplemented at a cost of £38,000.

Prescott said Foreign Affairs, runner-up in the Ebor Handicap last time out, could easily be outclassed at Longchamp but had a "sporting chance". To run him in the Arc would be "a dream come true" for the horse's trio of owners, dubbed The Speculators.
