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.Today: The West End of London welcomes Christmas shoppers. Oxford Street and Regent Street are closed to traffic this weekend, opening up the roads to pedestrians (westendvip.com). Meanwhile in Tulúm on Mexico's Mayan Riviera, Design Hotels is hosting a pop-up beach camp of 99 rustic-chic cabanas. Papaya Playa is open to guests until 5 May 2012 (papayaplayaproject.com).
This week: The no-frills revolution continues in the Caribbean. On Friday, REDjet starts flying between Barbados and St Lucia, offering a low-cost way to combine the two islands (flyredjet.com). Also on Friday, Inghams starts its winter ski programme in the French resort of Flaine, based on British Airways flights from Heathrow to Geneva (inghams.co.uk).
In the diary: A new express coach service, the Disneyland Paris Express picks up visitors from four central points in the French capital and takes them to the park in 90 minutes, allowing the theme park to be worked into a city break stay (or a day trip to Paris to be included in a stay at Disneyland). Tickets include admission to the park (disneylandparis-express.com).
