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.

The second leg of the Teacher's Round Britain Challenge has been shortened because of forecasts of light winds. Instead of going round the outside of Ireland, the 10 yachts set off yesterday afternoon from Cardiff to go up the Irish Sea to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. Wales lead after the England I boat, Spirit of Docklands, winner of the first leg, was penalised seven places for a start-line incident. The French were penalised, but retain second place with Scotland. England are fourth and Ireland fifth.
