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.

The opening day of play at the Evian Championship in France was washed out today after heavy morning rain soaked the newly designed course.

Players were on the course for less than an hour before being forced to come off, and organisers decided to restart the round tomorrow with today's scores wiped clean. The weather forecast for today and tomorrow is good and officials still hope to complete the tournament on time by playing 36 holes on Sunday.
