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.

Pazo Señorans Albariño, Rias Baixas, 2013
To be sipped on a sun-drenched terrace, with scallops, razor clams and percebes, the shellfish of north-western Spain, which is the home of this lovely white from an outstanding producer. Long-lasting mineral flavours of lemons, grapefruit, apples and a hint of green herbs. Wonderful. £16.95, darleyabbeywines.co.uk (minimum six-bottle order); £19.99 (or £14.99 each for two as part of purchase of minimum six mixed bottles), Majestic
Midweek meal
Argento Seleccion Malbec 2014
Luscious, perfectly balanced Malbec, with fresh flavours of black berry fruits, chocolate and mocha, with soft, supple tannins, making this easy to drink. Great for barbecued meats. £9, winedirect.co.uk (minimum six-bottle order); £8.95, slurp.co.uk
Bargain basement
Marques de Casa Concha Syrah 2012
Chile is not just about chocolatey Carménère or bracing Sauvignon blanc; this is a full-blooded, food-friendly Syrah with some peppery spice and vanilla from oak-ageing, but also with enough time to soften around the edges and allow the rich fruit flavours full expression. £8 (until Tuesday, normally £11.95), Tesco
