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.

Sponsorship problems for Classic races worsened at the weekend when Doncaster racecourse said it was having difficulty tracing the firm which agreed to back last year's St Leger. No money had been handed over.

The track's management announced it was terminating the sponsorship deal with TeleConnection Cellular. The company, which agreed a pounds 425,000 three- year Leger sponsorship two years ago, has run into financial difficulties.

It was reported yesterday that the firm has abandoned its London base, leaving no forwarding address. The principal shareholder, Godfrey Anderson, is the subject of a bankruptcy petition due to be heard in court on 13 September - the week after the Leger.
