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.

ERIC TABARLY, France's most famous yachtsman, is to come out of retirement to quell a mutiny in the Whitbread Round the World race. The 62-year-old double winner of the Atlantic single-handed race has been asked by the French Post Office to take over from Daniel Malle on the maxi, La Poste, after most of the 14-man crew refused to sail on if Malle stayed on board.
