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.While recent regulations stipulate that holidays abroad are off the cards until at least July, thankfully, staycations are allowed to go ahead, so you’re going to need to have the perfect luggage on hand.
Enter Away. One of our favourite luggage brands that has reached cult status, bringing luxury and stylish storage solutions to your nights away.
Finding high-quality carry-ons and suitcases at a mid-range price point is no easy task, but Away performs, making it an ideal option if you’re in the market for stepping up your travel bag game.
The good news is if you’ve ever had your eye on anything from the brand, now is the time to invest because for only the second time ever, it is holding a sale and offering 30 per cent off its bestsellers, including those carry-on suitcases with built-in batteries that you’ve likely seen all over Instagram.
The discount is only available for a limited time – ending on 30 March – and we’d hazard a guess the leading products will sell out fast.

This design is also available in a range of sizes, including the carry-on (was £215, now £150, Awaytravel.com), medium (was £265, now £185, Awaytravel.com) and large (was £285, now £199, Awaytravel.com) – all of which come in a variety of bright and bold colours, which we love.
