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.

My Emma, winner of the Yorkshire Oaks at the Ebor meeting and last year's Prix Vermeille, is a doubtful runner for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe on 5 October. She injured herself when slipping at home over the weekend. "I am still hopeful that she will make the Arc, but we will know more in a couple of days," Rae Guest, her trainer, said yesterday.

Tuesday's Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket has found a last-minute sponsor in the form of the Thoroughbred Corporation, the ownership group which represents Ahmed bin Salman. The same name will also be attached to the Group One Dewhurst Stakes, to be run at the same course in just over three weeks' time.
