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.

There will obviously be a certain amount of duplication, but today's Eggesford at Upcott Cross, north Devon, looks assured of double-figure fields with eight races (220 entries), including yet another local National – a mixed open over four miles. The trip looks ideal for former smart hurdler Quick (2.45) now trained by former champion rider Ashley Farrant.
Third in the 2005 Pertemps Hurdle at Cheltenham, Quick ended up running in sellers, but has regained his enthusiasm judging by his defeat of Oracle Des Mottes, winner of two ladies' opens this spring, on his pointing debut at Cherrybrook last Sunday.
With Merry Vic likely to be aimed at hunter chases, Magnus Veritas (4.20) can follow up his Charing win at Catsfield tomorrow.
