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.

Gary Harris, who caddied for the British boys champion, David Howell, at the Benson and Hedges International last week, wielded the clubs to good effect himself yesterday, taking the second-round lead in the English amateur strokeplay championship at Little Aston. He benefited greatly from his experience at St Mellion. 'David played with Jose Maria Olazabal in the pro-am and then made the halfway cut, so I was there all week learning as much as I could,' said Harris after a 70 had given him a two-under-par total of 142. In the blustery conditions Simon Griffiths, the overnight leader after an opening 67, returned an 80.
