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.

Seduced by Sri Lanka

Outside peak season, there are plenty of deals for holidays on this idyllic island. Choose to travel to the south-west coast with The Holiday Place on 12 June and take advantage of a 14-night break at the Emerald Bay Hotel for £699 per person. Accommodation is all-inclusive and Qatar Airways flights from Heathrow via Doha are included. The capital, Colombo, is an hour's drive north. www.theholidayplace.co.uk

Revellers' restoration

If you've been sleeping in a soggy festival field, a long journey home isn't always an appealing prospect. Happily, Holiday Inn Express hotels is offering 50 per cent off rooms every Sunday during the peak summer festival season (5 June-25 September). With doubles available from £26, weary revellers can yank off their wellies, have a shower and enjoy breakfast the next morning before heading home refreshed. www.hiexpress.com/recoveryrate

Czech in

If a summer city break soaking up Prague's wealth of history and riverside restaurants sounds appealing, then Flight Centre has a tempting offer. Four nights' basic but central accommodation is being offered for £275 per person at the Ibis Wenceslas Square. Breakfast and flights from Heathrow are also included, for departures between 9 June and 28 July. Book by 15 June. www.flightcentre.co.uk
