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.THREE wins in a row for Grant Dalton in New Zealand Endeavour have put him well clear of his rivals, Pierre Fehlmann in Merit Cup and Daniel Malle in La Poste, after four of the six legs of the UAP Round Europe Race. Isabelle Autissier's new swing-keel Open 60 Ecureuil Poitou-Charentes won the stage from Rotterdam to Copenhagen. Dalton has signed Mike Quilter, the right-hand man to Peter Blake in Steinlager II when winning the 1989-90 Whitbread round the world race, to replace Murray Ross as his navigator for the 1993-94 race, which starts in September. In the Whitbread 60 class, Spain's Galicia Pescanova scored her second win to share the honours with the pan-European Intrum Justitia, with Italy's Brooksfield closer in third place and now taking on new sails.
