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 a Fiver

2007 Los Robles Chilean Fairtrade Carmenère
This red from the Los Robles Co-operative shows Chilean carmenère at its best and best value – the ideal summery red to have on tap, literally.
3-litre winebox, £15.99 = £4 a 75cl bottle, Sainsbury's

Under a Tenner

2007 Jasnières Domaine des Gauletteries
From one of the Loire Valley's lesser-known appellations, this is a stylish, dry white whose dried apricot and peach characters are focused by an acidity and a grace note of honey.
£7.99, Majestic

Splash Out

2005 St Chinian Hecht & Bannier, Languedoc-Roussillon
The leavening of spice and pepper on this blend of mainly syrah with grenache and mourvèdre brings an extra dimension to the berry flavours.
£12.95, Berry Bros & Rudd (0870 900 4300)
