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.Sailing
Ed Baird, of the United States, who was coach to the America's Cup winning Team New Zealand earlier this year, won the Steinlager World Match Racing Championship in Auckland helped by three of his San Diego crew, beating Roy Heiner, of the Netherlands, 4-1 in the final. Having also recently won the Nippon Cup in Japan, Baird is now No 1 in the Omega world rankings - the first time an American has occupied the position since the standings were introduced in 1988.
