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.

CORAL'S SPONSORSHIP of Chepstow's Rehearsal Chase is under threat after today's race, which attracted Earth Summit and Suny Bay, first and second in the Martell Grand National, at its five-day stage, drew just three runners at the overnight declaration deadline.

They will also undertake an overall review of its sponsorship commitments, which include the Coral Cup at the Cheltenham Festival, the Welsh National and Eclipse Stakes as well as valuable sprints at Haydock, Newmarket and York, early in the New Year.

Coral's Simon Clare said: "We are desperately disappointed with the three-runner turn-out."
