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.

Frares Priorat 2012
A gem from Catalonia's Priorat area, home of fantastic reds. An unoaked and full-bodied blend from old Carignan and Grenache vines, this has spicy, juicy flavours of liquorice, plums and mulberries. Fresh and enticing – so watch the 14.5 per cent ABV. £13, Marks & Spencer
A white for fish…
Peter Yealands Sauvignon Blanc
The grassy, herby, zesty flavours of a good Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc always spell spring. This new mid-priced bottle from a highly rated producer is ideal for almost any simply cooked fish or shellfish, particularly if there is an Asian twist. £7.50 (until 24 March; usually £10), Sainsbury's
A bargain champagne…
Mumm Cordon Rouge Brut NV
Loads of discounted champagne around for Mother's Day, but this is one of the best. Instantly recognisable from the red Légion d'Honneur bottle slash, Mumm is a reliable marque producing top-notch sparkling: poised, balanced fruit-and-brioche flavours. £19.99 (offer ends today; normally £34.49), Bargain Booze; £24.99 (until Tuesday; normally £33.49), Waitrose
