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.

LURE, the outstanding miler in North America who was due to contest the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood next Wednesday, is likely to be prevented from taking part by the Ministry of Agriculture.

The dual winner of the Breeders' Cup Mile has been quoted at odds as low as 6-1 for the race against such as Mister Baileys and Bigstone.

However, the ministry will not grant entry to Britain to horses vaccinated against life- threatening Equine Viral Arteritis. Lure received such a vaccination last year when it was planned that he should race in Chicago, where there was an outbreak of the disease.
