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.

An investigation will be held into the death of the jockey Richard Davis. The Jockey Club announced yesterday that four officials would be discussing all the factors that led to the tragedy. The investigation committee will be chaired by Robert Waley-Cohen, a racecourse steward.

An inquest into Davis's death will be opened and adjourned in Newark today. Davis's funeral will take place at Earl's Croome church, in Worcestershire, at noon on Friday.
