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.

Sir: Most golfing events, apart from the Ryder Cup, I find boring to watch for any length of time, but not this year's Open.

My congratulations to the R&A, and especially to John Philp, the links superintendent at Carnoustie, for this year's entertainment. What a pleasure to watch professionals forced to contend with real difficulties. A great change from observing only how much below par they can attain on featureless courses.

Let us have more of the same.
