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.

Under £5

2009 Vin de Pays de l'Ardèche Gamay

A vivid summery red with the sort of sweet pepper and berry aromas and quaffable cherryish fruit that's made to make the mouth water whenever there's an excuse for a summer party or picnic. £3.99, Marks & Spencer

Under £10

2009 Jerusalem Ormoz Pinot Grigio

Not just any pinot grigio – a refreshingly crisp Slovenian example of the variety, whose cleansing spritz and apple and pear flavours are close to Italy's Friuli, the home of true pinot grigio. £6.99, down from £9.99, Waitrose

Splash out

2007 Crozes Hermitage Domaines Les Lises Maxime Graillot

The northern Rhône's syrah at its smoky, tarry best, with a perfume that carries through to a spicy, blackberry succulence enlivened by savoury acidity. £15.95, Berry Bros & Rudd (0800 280 2440)
