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.

Each week, we invite three companies to offer us their best deal for a specific break. Today: a Californian fly-drive adventure. Prices are per person, based on two people travelling together. Each package includes flights from Heathrow in late June, car hire and 14 nights' accommodation.

Includes United flights to Los Angeles on 19 June (returning San Diego via Washington), with hotels in Los Angeles, the Big Sur, San Francisco, Yosemite, Death Valley, Las Vegas and San Diego. "Experience true Americana as you travel from sandy coves to arid deserts, through quaint towns and iconic cities," says Tiffany Cope (020 7368 1200; trailfinders.com).

£1,915 - Virgin Holidays
