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.The site, set up by leading money-advice charities, is running a competition to find the best money-saving tips for Christmas, from making your own presents to finding the cheapest way to borrow money.
The contributors who submit the three best ideas, as chosen by an independent panel of judges, will each win vouchers worth £150 to spend at Asda - on Christmas goodies or anything else.
If your tips don't win, your ideas are at least assured an enthusiastic welcome from other savers - Moneybasics will put all the tips on its site in the run-up to Christmas.
The closing date for the competition is next Friday, and each tip must be no more than 50 words. There are more details, along with entry forms, on the organisation's website at www.moneybasics.co.uk.
