Your support helps us to tell the story

Support Now

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 hotel

San Francisco has a new hotel. The Zetta, part of The Viceroy group, is housed in a 1913 building in the SoMa district. A "classic American party food" restaurant will follow in March (viceroyhotelgroup.com).

The kit

Aquapac's new PackDivider Drysacks are waterproof and transparent, so you can see the contents. It makes them good for water-based activities or for leakable items. From £9 (aquapac.net).

The competition

Al Fresco Holidays is offering the chance to win a family break at one of its European holiday parks. The competition is for children, who must submit a 500-word story about a journey (blog.thomsonalfresco.co.uk).
