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.

Weston-super-Mare Beach Race
Weston-super-Mare
Dave Thorpe, the former world champion, will be among 500 riders taking part in the annual three-hour race on Sunday. The top riders have been seeded but 100 places will be decided by a three-hour heat on Saturday at noon. The race, around a three- mile course, starts at noon on Sunday. A one-hour mountain bike race will act as a curtain- raiser to the main event. There are plenty of good vantage points for spectators who can watch from the promenade or on the beach.
How to get there: Weston-super-Mare is 20 miles south west of Bristol via junctions 21 and 22 of the M5. The course is AA signposted on all major routes into the town. Admission: Saturday: pounds 3 adults, pounds 1.50 children and OAPs. Sunday: pounds 4 adults, pounds 2 children and OAPs. Ample free parking on the beach.
