Win a trip to Rio
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.Here's another chance to win a holiday in Brazil. Journey Latin America, Transbrasil Airlines and The Independent have teamed up to offer the prize of a week's two-centre holiday in Brazil for two people.
The winners will fly from Gatwick on a Friday evening on Transbrasil, arriving in Salvador early next morning. You'll be met at the airport and transferred to the Hotel Tropical da Bahia. A short taxi ride away is the colonial Pelourinho district, where the pastel blues and yellows of the tenements are home to the world-famous Olodum band.
A couple of days later you'll fly on to Rio and the South American Copacabana hotel, a couple of blocks from the beach.
Rio - where the tropical waters of the Atlantic lap the world-famous beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, and rain-forest and colossal granite mountains are the backdrop to luxury apartments and colonial elegance. Rio - a cidade maravilhosa.
Don't miss the great sights: the statue of Christ the Redeemer overlooking the city, the forest of Tijuca, and Guanabara Bay. Or just laze on the beach.
Travel restrictions apply; the return flight arrives at Gatwick at lunch time the following Friday.
