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.

"Like my fellow jockeys, I am very sensitive to the integrity of horse racing and am disappointed at the outcome of yesterday's hearing. No charges have been laid against me, nor have any breaches of the Jockey Club rules been alleged. I firmly deny that I have been involved in any activity of a dishonest or improper kind.

I would like to thank the many owners and trainers who have given me their unqualified support over the last few days.

I have been advised by my solicitors to make no further comment at this stage."
