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.

CLIVE POWELL's Welsh Dirty Weekends (0597 810585) involve nothing more scandalous than muddying your trousers. His Rhayader-based mountain bike holidays, coupled with the legendary hospitality offered by his mother, Pam, who is famous for her Welsh cakes, provides one of the best away-from-it-all weekends available anywhere in Britain. His Dirty Weekends, which begin next year on 30 April, cost pounds 88. Bike hire costs pounds 10 a day.

For regular racers and 'fit' cyclists, Mr Powell plans to run training camps to coincide with his own plans to compete in mountain bike races.
