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.

When does the Zara January sale finish?
The Zara January sale will run throughout the whole month, with the label discounting items until they reach clearance. If you’re looking to buy a particular piece or see something you love in your size, our advice would be to snap it up quickly, as the sales tend to sell out of all the best bits.
Tips for shopping the Zara January sale
If you’ve got any big ticket items on your list, such as a cashmere jumper, coat, or boots, you should prioritise these items. These pieces tend to sell out pretty quickly, followed by essentials like jeans, t-shirts and loungewear.
I’d also recommend creating an account and then a wish list on the Zara app so that when the sale goes live, you can check the prices straight away, and move them over to your basket.
