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.

French fancy

See in 2013 on the slopes of Chamonix. Inghams has a deal that flies you from Gatwick to Geneva on Saturday, 29 December, for a week-long stay at the Chalet Hotel Sapinière, in the heart of the French resort, for £824 per person. The price includes transfers, all meals and – importantly for New Year's Eve – unlimited drinks and wine (inghams.co.uk).

American ascent

Or, why not hop over the Atlantic, to Salt Lake City in Utah – which claims to have eight ski resorts in the surrounding valley, including Sundance, Solitude and Snowbird. Departing on the same date, 29 December, Neilson is offering a 14-night break at the Comfort Inn with breakfast for £1,144 per person, based on four people sharing, with Delta flights from Heathrow to Salt Lake City via Boston and transfers (crystalski.co.uk).
