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.

Experts on sports head injuries from Britain, Australia and America are to take part in a Jockey Club seminar.

The two-day conference entitled "Concussion and Head Injury in Sport" is being held in London on 30-31 January in conjunction with the Medical Advisers of Professional Sports.

Administrators and medical staff of sports where head injuries are a hazard will attend. "It is 10 years since we last reviewed the situation and medical opinion has moved on,'' Jockey Club chief medical adviser Dr Michael Turner, said.
