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.There's free beer up for grabs in this week's Bargain Hunter competition. But it's not just any beer: it's a brand new, unfiltered, 6.5 per cent India pale ale from the craft beer specialist And Union.
The copper-coloured beer is called Friday and is brewed in Bavaria over a 10-week period. Bargain Hunter has tried it and can confirm it's certainly got a taste to it.
And Union specialises in small-batch, unfiltered, unpasteurised beers. They are normally sold in retailers such as Wholefoods but readers can be in with a chance of getting a free crate of 12 bottles of Friday – worth around £40 – by answering a simple question.
The question: what was the name of the American cop series of the 1950s, later made into a 1980s movie, which followed the fortunes of Sergeant Joe Friday?
Send the answer by next Thursday, 21 May, to yourmoney@independent.co.uk.
