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.

ISLE SEAT

June is a sublime time to be in the Balearic islands, with comfortable temperatures and minimal crowds. On 25 June, Classic Collection has a week-long option on Mallorca – the largest of the three-island chain – for £799pp. Based at the five-star Iberostar Son Antem, the package includes breakfast and Monarch flights from Gatwick (classic-collection.co.uk).

BLUES CRUISE

On 22 June, Hayes & Jarvis has an eight-night road trip that combines two of America's key musical cities for £1,299pp. Departing with Delta flights from Heathrow, the holiday includes car hire and a four-night stay in New Orleans at the Hilton Riverside, followed by four nights in Memphis at the Doubletree Downtown, both on a room-only basis (hayesandjarvis.co.uk).

WAVE HELLO

In July and August, sea breezes roll over the east and south coasts of Mauritius, making it an ideal time for windsurfers to visit. For travel from 1-22 July, Travelbag has a seven-night deal at the five-star Heritage Le Telfair in Bel Ombre on the southern shore, with full-board meals and Emirates flights from Gatwick via Dubai for £1,349pp. Book by 14 July (travelbag.co.uk).

SEPTEMBER SUN

Wait until September and there's a week on the Greek Island of Kos for £599pp. The deal, with Inspired Luxury Escapes, includes a stay in a sea-view room at the Michaelangelo Hotel & Spa in Agios Fokas, with half-board meals and easyJet flights from Gatwick included (inspiredluxuryescapes.com).
