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.The kit
Want more from your travel footwear? Then get the new Mammut Obelisk DLX Urban Climbing Shoe that comes with Spider-Man like grips perfect for buildering (bouldering over buildings). Available from Cotswold Outdoor (cotswoldoutdoor.com).
The destination
Cotswolds and the Forest of Dean are the (self-titled) British Rural Capital of Culture (cotswolds.com). This cheeky pitch has a serious point: to highlight rural culture, from Cheltenham’s Literature Festival to Damien Hirst’s Stroud Studios.
The deal
Take a budget last-minute break to the sun. Departing this Friday, a 14-night holiday in Goa and/or Kerala costs £499 per person including flights, transfers and beach-front guesthouse accommodation. Goaway (020-7258 7800; goaway.co.uk).
