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.

Old Bush Vine Grenache Yalumba 2012
Still surviving Dry January? Treat yourself to these high-street gems for 1 February as a reward. First, from aged Barossa Valley vines, there is a lovely balance here between a meaty, intense structure and juicy, spicy red-fruit flavours coupled with a nice long finish. For steak or a beef casserole. £10.99 (each for two bottles as part of purchase of six mixed bottles; normally £13.74), majestic.co.uk
Midweek meal
Red and Black Agiorgitiko Nemea 2012
A brilliant modern Greek red, showcasing the huge potential of the country for making great wine. Vibrant and fruit-driven, but with serious layers of flavour and intriguing soft smokiness. Make a proper moussaka – Greek comfort food – to go with it. £8.99, Marks &Spencer
Bargain basement
Saint-Roch Côtes Du Roussillon 2012
More Grenache here, in its home in the sunny south of France and paired with Syrah to create a very approachable, very traditional blend from the region: medium-bodied, dark fruits, some touches of spice and herbs. A more or less perfect everyday wine. £6.99, Morrisons
