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.

The leaders in the Cape to Rio race, who are 350 miles south of Trinidad, are expected to cross the line on Saturday with Hasso Plattner's 70-footer, Morning Glory, still leading. Second is Ludde Ingvall's Nicorette but making up distance on both has been Pierre Mas in the Whitbread 60, Corum.

Another yacht bearing the Corum name is Graham Walker's One Design 48, making its chartered first outing at the Key West regatta in Florida. One Design 48 won its first race there from John Koilus in Abracadabra and Kimo Worthington in Windquest.
