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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Night in

2013 The Exquisite Collection Rias Baixas Albariño

This dry Spanish white from the Galician coast shows a nice fresh peachy nose with a hint of pepperiness, and a tongue-tingling zestiness on the aftertaste. £5.99, Aldi

Dinner party

2013 6285 Margaret River Chardonnay

An aromatic note of nutty, lees-stirred complexity and peachy fruitiness supported by subtle oaking and zesty acidity make for a beautifully balanced Aussie dry white. £12.99, M&S

Splash out

2010 Ricasoli Rocca Guicciarda Chianti Classico Riserva

A touch of merlot brings a smooth succulence to the intense, cherry fruit whose refreshing backbone makes this an inviting Tuscan red. £14, down from £17.99, Sainsbury's
