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.

Under a fiver: 2002 Villa Bianchi, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, £3.99, Sainsbury's
Reduced from £5.99 for the duration of the Sainsbury's wine festival this month, this is a characterful Italian dry white from the Marche region with ample richness flecked by honeyed fruitiness and enough fresh acidity and bite for party finger food.
Under a tenner: 2000 Laurus, La Fiorita, Toscana IGT, £9.99, Unwins
If you're a chianti fan, you should enjoy this chip off the brunello di montalcino block from La Fiorita. A Tuscan sangiovese with rich cherry fruitiness and polished oak ending on an appetisingly dry note. Perfect with a shoulder of lamb or barbecued ribs.
Splash out: 2000 Coma Vella Mas d'en Gil, Priorat, £15.99, Waitrose
With its blood red, liquid mulberry juiciness and gentle nudge of oak spice, this seriously impressive Spanish blend of garnacha and cariñena from Priorat delivers flavour, richness and character in spades. A modern classic for the Sunday joint.
