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.

TOMORROW'S TURF meetings at Newcastle and Ludlow depend upon a sudden end to the cold snap. Newcastle's course was still frozen last night, while an inspection has already been called for 9.30am today at Ludlow where large patches of the track are frozen.

Yesterday was a blank day for racing with even management at Wolverhampton's ``all-weather'' track being forced to abandon.

This afternoon's jumping card at Folkestone depends on an early morning inspection, but the management at Southwell claimed yesterday that there was no threat to today's meeting.

The third meeting scheduled for tomorrow is on Lingfield's Equitrack surface and no problems are expected.
