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.

Hotel chain Jurys Inn is targeting "stay-cationers" with a range of deals starting at £105 for a family of four.

Jurys Inn will also be offing 15-25 per cent off all standard room rates for hotel stays between 18 July and 7 September ,as long as you book by 24 August.

But only two of you could win the £200 Yale Premium alarms offered by the insurer Rias in our exclusive competition.
