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. This week: a break in the Indian state of Goa. Prices are per person, based on two people travelling together. Each package includes Jet Airways flights from Heathrow via Mumbai on 22 March and 10 nights' accommodation.

Trailfinders - £1,389

Includes flights and B&B at the Alila Diwa Goa, Majorda. Transfers extra. "Surrounded by lush, green paddy fields, this stylish and intimate retreat enjoys a unique setting on Goa's south coast," says Tiffany Cope (020 7368 1200 trailfinders.com).

Kuoni - £1,292

Includes flights, transfers and B&B at Zuri Varca White Sands, Varca. "The Zuri is a stylish yet laid-back beach retreat, away from Goa's more bustling resorts, with two pools, a watersports centre and an Ayurvedic spa," says Jemma Purvis (01306 747008; kuoni.co.uk).
