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.Get your wish lists ready because Amazon Prime Day is fast approaching. One of the biggest shopping occasions of the year, the two-day event will see prices slashed on everything from coffee machines to laptops and TVs.
Traditionally held in July but pushed back to October last year because of the coronavirus pandemic, Amazon has confirmed this year’s event will go ahead between 21 June and 22 June.
The bar was set high last year, with 2020 being Amazon’s most successful Prime Day since it first launched in 2015. But that hasn’t stopped the company promising to deliver its biggest-ever sale in 2021, with more than 2 million products expected to be discounted across the site.
Whether you’re after Apple AirPods, a Nintendo Switch console or one of Amazon’s own products, there will be no better time than Prime Day to snap up a stellar deal.
And though the event is still a couple of weeks away, the good news is that a host of early deals are already out for you to fill up your baskets with.
