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.

Hopes rose yesterday that the injury Martha's Son suffered at Huntingdon may not be so bad as first feared.

There had been worries that the 10-year-old might never run again after he was pulled up with a suspected crack in his near-fore in the Peterborough Chase on Tuesday, but X-rays have failed to find any bone damage.

However, Forster's bad luck continued at Chepstow yesterday when Edmond and Donjuan Collonges fell in their respective races - the latter fatally.
