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.

One of the best-value examples of Alsace's spiciest and most fragrant grape variety comes from the go-ahead Neszmely co-operative, in Hungary. With the grape's trademark exotic Turkish Delight fragrance and lychee spiciness, this clean, apéritif dry white comes up smelling, quite literally, of roses.
Red: 2000 TerraMater Zinfandel/Shiraz, £4.99, Safeway, Sainsbury's
The most recent release of this sweetly ripe, Rhône-style blend from Terramater Estates in Chile combines the peppery, aromatic qualities of zinfandel with the ripe, blackberryish fruitiness of the syrah grape in a juicy, brambly, thoroughly gluggable red for lazy summer afternoons and early evening barbecues.
