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.

After the second day of the Around Alone first leg from South Carolina to Cape Town, Giovanni Soldini's 60-foot FILA is still in fifth place despite making ground on the rest. Soldini was making over 10 knots, while the others, led by Britain's Mike Golding on Group 4, wallowed in lighter winds to the south.

Peter Gilmour, the world No 1 Australian who will skipper Japan's entry in the America's Cup next year, beat Britain's Chris Law, 3-1, in the best-of-five final of the Cigna Knickerbocker Cup in New York.
