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.

Harbinger of success for Gifford

Kristina Gifford rode the 11-year-old ex-racehorse Harbinger to a popular victory in the British Intermediate Championship at the Land Rover British Horse Trials at Gatcombe Park yesterday, writes Mary Gordon Watson. "It took time for him to adapt but I feel he can do anything now he has confidence" she said. Celina Elliott from Bristol went even faster than Gifford to pull up into second place on the consistent Overton Sunrise, edging ahead of dressage leader William Fox Pitt on The Artist. Mark Todd, on Lady Bamford's Vanbi Charboniere, won the advanced competition.
