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.Two steeplechases were called off at Ludlow yesterday when the Richard Dunwoody- partnered Clifton Beat stumbled and unshipped his rider on the flat in the novices' chase. Following complaints from Dunwoody, the stewards decided it was unsafe to go ahead with the remaining chases.
Dunwoody said: "There's a hole at least 18 inches deep as my whip goes in down to the flap. My horse is lucky not to have broken a leg and I'm not prepared to ride over that part of the course again."
