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.

JUMPS RACING today hinges on a 7.30am inspection at Southwell following the abandonment of the day's other turf meeting at Carlisle. Southwell was raceable yesterday but overnight rain is forecast.

Newton Abbot's card tomorrow is another to be abandoned due to waterlogging. It is the fourth successive fixture the West Country track has lost.

The BHB has given the go-ahead for a five-race all-steeplechase card, including the Victor Chandler Chase, at Ascot on Friday as the hurdles course may prove unraceable. If the weather relents, the course will stage an eight- race card.
