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.

Zara Phillips has the chance to add an Olympic gold medal to those she won at World and European Championships having been named for the team of five that contests the Olympic Three-Day Event in Hong Kong in August.

Phillips takes her expected place on Toytown together with world championship team-mates William Fox-Pitt (the only rider to be named with three horses) and Mary King, who will be riding in her fifth Olympics.
