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.

TODAY'S meeting at Folkestone has been abandoned because the course is waterlogged. It is the seventh card this week to fall victim to the weather. A deluge forced the abandonment of the last two races at Fontwell yesterday and Taunton was also hit when the stewards decided the ground on the chase course was unsuitable and called off the 2.30 and 3.30 races. As Leicester has passed an inspection, four meetings remain today. At Newbury, Richard Pridham, the clerk of the course, said: 'We could have raced today. There are no inspections planned although we are watching the weather overnight.'
