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.

A Pick of the Day's Sporting Events SUNDAY / Cyclo-cross National Trophy Northallerton The National Trophy series is completed on Sunday at Northallerton, North Yorkshire, and most of the leading Britons compete. The format of this series allows a rider to count his or her best three performances. In the case of the tie, the decision goes to the rider with the highest score in Sunday's fourth and final round. In the men's senior series, Roger Hammond, Britain's leading amateur, has already won the trophy and he will be absent on Sunday, racing in Switzerland in preparation for next weekend's World championships there. Competition will be fierce, though, as contenders for the remaining medal places are members of Britain's senior team for the World event. All professionals, Steve Douce looks secure in second place and cannot be overhauled by Nick Craig in third, but a win by Gary Foord, presently in fourth, would place him second overall.

How to get there: Stone Cross Playing Fields, Northallerton, North Yorkshire. From the south, turn off A1 at the A168/A19 exit, signposted Teesside, and take A168 to Northallerton. Opening race for under-12s: 10am; juveniles: 11am; juniors: noon; veterans: 12.01pm; women: 12.02; International Senior Trophy: 2pm.
