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.

Destination of the week: sail south

You need not fly to North Africa: Mediterranean ferry services open up all kinds of possibilities for people who prefer to travel terrestrially around Europe. The Italian company Grandi Navi Veloci ( www.gnv.it) has services from Palermo to Tunis (with a connecting service from Rome) and from Barcelona to Tangier; one-way from €130 (£93).

Destination of the week: Stansted for less

From 7 June, travellers from London will be able to book easyBus trips from Baker Street to Stansted for as little as £2 one-way, at www.easyBus.co.uk. The maximum walk-up fare for the minibus service is £7. The fleet of Mercedes buses is being transferred from the current easyBus London-Luton route. This link is to be merged with Green Line services.
