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.

MARK HOLLIDAY, who died in Newcastle General Hospital on Wednesday afternoon as the result of injuries sustained while competing in horse trials, became the third human fatality of the sport in just 19 days. The news, announced yesterday, follows the death of Richard Adams after his fall at the Windsor Three-Day Event on 29 May and that of Malcolm Munro-Kerr, who fell at the Lowesby Horse Trials on 5 June.
