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.

Each week, we invite three companies to offer us their best deal for a specific break. Today: a winter adventure in Norway. Prices are per person, based on two people sharing. Each package includes flights from London in early December, transfers and a week's accommodation.

Discover the World - £1,489

Includes SAS flights from Heathrow via Oslo to Tromso on 2 December and mixed board in Tromso, Batsfjord, Kongsfjord and Kirkenes with a Hurtigruten cruise. "This multi-centre holiday combines comfortable hotels with coastal cruising," says Lizzie Bourke (01737 214291; discover-the-world.co.uk).

Taber Holidays - £1,550

Includes SAS flights from Heathrow via Oslo to Trondheim on 1 December and B&B in Trondheim, Bodo, the Lofoten Islands and Tromso with a Hurtigruten cruise. "This offers the chance to experience some magnificent Arctic scenery," says Suzel Taber-Shaw (01274 875 199; taberhols.co.uk).

Sunvil Discovery - £1,602

Includes non-stop Norwegian flights from Gatwick to Tromso on 7 December and half board at the Clarion Collection Hotel in Tromso, with a dog-sled excursion, Aurora hunt and reindeer tour. "Tromso is an ideal base for winter activities," says Rachel Jelley (020-8758 4722; sunvil.co.uk).
