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.

AMATEUR JOCKEY Nathan Rossiter remained in a critical condition in intensive care yesterday following his heavy fall at Fontwell on Monday. A spokeswoman at St Richard's Hospital in Chichester said: "He is still critical and will be kept sedated."

Rossiter, 22, was admitted with suspected head injuries after falling from Hever Golf Charmer in a claiming hurdle.

Hever Golf Charmer is trained by Charlie Morlock who said: "He had ridden the horse three times before and got round all right each time but he was unlucky this time, the horse caught the top of a swinging hurdle.''
