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.

Richard Guest is to appeal against a two-day riding ban meted out by the Wetherby stewards on Saturday. The local stewards decided that he had struck Ben Cruachan on the run-in "when clearly winning" the Thorp Arch Novices' Hurdle and the suspension is due to take effect on 16-17 December.

The Scottish trainer Len Lungo has announced he will be using the best jockeys available following the injury last week to first-choice rider Mark Dwyer. Dwyer suffered a broken left elbow following a fall at Kelso on Monday and will be out for some time.
