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.

A SMALL price war has broken out between camping operators. A contender for cheapest foreign holiday of the year is on offer from Canvas Holidays (0383 621000). In late September, a family of two adults and up to six children can spend three weeks at a campsite in France for pounds 99 - less than pounds 17 per person, including the return ferry fare. Canvas sites are available in Alsace, Burgundy, Loire, Normandy, Provence and the Pyrenees.

For the same family grouping, Keycamp Holidays (081-395 4000) is offering a price of pounds 149 for one-week holidays in France in September, using the Dover-Calais ferry crossing.

In October, the relative merits of Parc Asterix and Euro Disney can be assessed on a holiday organised by French Country Camping (0923 261311). The company is offering four-night stays at a campsite at Nesles la Vallee, just outside Paris and close to both theme parks. A family of two adults and up to four children pays a total of pounds 157 for the Ramsgate-Dunkirk ferry crossing and tent accommodation.
