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.

A fruit salad of seven red grape varieties, this affordable Cape blend has an appealing nose with smoky oak and juicy cherryish fruit topped off by firm, robust tannins.
Under a tenner: 2003 Blind River Sauvignon Blanc, £9.99, Oddbins
Deceptively restrained for Marlborough, this subtle New Zealand sauvignon blanc displays an elegant elderflower-scented quality with plenty of textured underlying passion fruit and gooseberry-fruit intensity. One for goat's cheese melted over brioche.

Jean-Marc Brocard won four golds at this year's International Wine Challenge. This dry white burgundy was one winner - fresh acidity, honeyed ripeness and the minerally flavours of unoaked chardonnay grown in the chalky soils of Chablis.
