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.

GERMANY extended their long reign as Olympic champions in dressage yesterday when they received the team gold medals after another sweltering day at the Barcelona Polo Club. The Netherlands and the United States took silver and bronze while Britain were nudged down to finish in seventh place.

The four Britons - Emile Faurie, Carl Hester, Laura Fry and Carol Parsons - are all new to the Olympics and though their final placing was disappointing, there were encouraging aspects. They finished only 15 marks behind the Swedes, who were in fourth place.
