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.

Naturism holidays are growing in popularity, and while it may not be everyone's cup of tea, it's a sure way to reduce baggage fees at the airport.

Earlier in July, the Irish Naturist Association called for some of Ireland's beaches to be designated nudist, saying that the move could provide a boost to tourism as 2.5 million people in the UK alone take nudist holidays.

Angela Russell, President of the British Naturism Association, agrees that interest in naturism is on the rise.

Commenting on the launch of a new "naked night," she said that "naturism is becoming more and more accepted and there is a growing desire among people with no experience of naturism to give it a try."

This week, flight comparison site Skyscanner has picked its top five destinations for an all-nude holiday.

Among them is La Jenny naturist resort in France, which boasts Europe's only naked golf course, and Spain's Naked Village, where 200 apartments make up a settlement of naturists who enjoy the freedom of roaming the streets in the nude.

Travel blog GoGirlfriend also picked its favorite nudist destinations this week, selecting Hedonism, a risque resort in Jamaica and the upscale Sea Mountain Rance Resort and Spa in California among others.
