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.

The ceremonious trip to Boots to purchase Soltan has become one of the great British summer holiday traditions. This year, we're more likely to shop online and go on staycations, but we still need sun protection, and the familiar scent will transport us to sunnier climes, evocative of childhood memories at the seaside. “Once advanced” is Soltan’s hero range with the highest available UVA rating (five stars). We tested the SPF50+ spray version complete with ergonomic finger holds and it kept our tester’s fair skinned family perfectly protected. For a budget-friendly option that is reliable and reassuring, it has rightfully earned its place on our must-have summer shopping list.
