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.

While it might feel like a long way off, Christmas will quickly creep up on you.

Naturally, the closer the countdown gets, your kids’ excitement will only increase. To get them even more ready for the big day, there’s surely nothing better than an advent calendar.

Luckily, budget-friendly supermarket Aldi has delivered a seriously impressive range of advent calendars for kids. Each one looks like it’ll make the Christmas countdown even more exciting.
