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.

A VICTORY finally came the way of Henrietta Knight's stable yesterday after Wishing William defied top weight to take the Ilminster Handicap Chase at Taunton stylishly by 21 lengths.

"We've had 10 seconds since our last winner, so it's nice to get another winner on the board," the Wantage trainer said later. "This horse liked the good ground here much better than he did the soft last time."

At Ludlow, Native Recruit indicated that David Nicholson's string is hitting form. Adrian Maguire sent the well-backed favourite clear of the promising Lady Prunella to score by 18 lengths.
