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.

Under a Fiver

2007 Sainsbury's Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi

This dry Italian bianco may not set the world alight, but as one of Sainsbury's Great Value wines under £4, it's certainly one of the best in the range for its clean fruitiness. £3.99

Under a Tenner

2005 Dominio Basconcillos

Red fruit flavours and cherry combine with firm tannins and a savoury cutting edge of refreshing acidity to create a satisfying, full-blooded northern Spanish red. £9.90, Vintage Roots (0800 980 4992; vintageroots.co.uk)

Splash Out

2008 Eight Rows Sauvignon Blanc

An exciting new contender for the Cape's best sauvignon blanc crown, this aromatic nettley sauvignon blanc is rich but not overpowering, concentrated yet restrained. £11.95, Jeroboams
