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.

One of the few English wines on the market for under a fiver, this easy-drinking blend of Phoenix, Madeleine Angevine and Huxelrebe from Gloucestershire's Three Choirs displays fresh, hedgerow fruit flavours, and needs to be chilled before serving.

One of the best of the current crop of English dry whites, this is made from the Bacchus grape with distinctive floral aromas, a lively spritz on the tongue and delightfully crisp, grapefruity flavours in the mould of an English Sancerre.
