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.

BRITAIN'S Laura Davies relinquished her grip on the LPGA Standard Register Classic title she had held for four years with a final-round 69 to finish six shots adrift of the leaders on 285.

The Swede Liselotte Neumann sank a birdie on the third play-off hole to defeat the American Rosie Jones and pocket the pounds 77,914 winner's cheque at Phoenix, Arizona.

Neumann and Jones had finished with a 13-under par 279. The American Cathy Johnston-Forbes was third on 280.
