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.

Cross The Border made it five wins from his last seven outings - all within the space of six weeks - when taking the Pergoda Apprentice Handicap at Musselburgh yesterday. The David Nicholls-trained gelding, ridden by Paul Roberts, defied top weight as he held on well from Pallium. "We'll give him a rest now - he's not going to take up his engagement at Sandown tomorrow," said Nicholls' wife Alex Greaves. "But he's in at Chester on Saturday and it all depends what his owner Peter Savill wants to do."
