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 Tutukaka South Pacific Yacht Club, formed three years ago, has been accepted as a challenger for the 1995 America's Cup by the San Diego Yacht Club. The Tutukaka club, which has only 700 members, becomes New Zealand's second challenger, after the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron's Team New Zealand syndicate, which named Russell Coutts as its skipper earlier this week. Chris Dickson has been approached to head the Tutukaka challenge.
