Going Higher: 'The beer is sometimes 50p a pint'
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.

"LIVERPOOL IS an attractive city and as far as night-life is concerned, it's on the rise, big time. It's a poor city, which means that property is cheap and new bars and clubs are opening almost overnight.
"Manchester won't admit it, but Liverpool is catching up really fast and it's a much more manageable city for entertainment, anyway.
"The students' union had been damaged by fire in my first year so it didn't offer much, but in the second two years it improved enormously. The beer is really cheap. It can be 50p a pint sometimes, and is usually only pounds 1. There are some half-decent indie bands and it is very good for comedy.
"On top of that, the city itself is brilliant. For my money, it's better than Manchester. The Scousers are the friendliest people in England. It's very cosmopolitan, with a huge Irish culture, and at two in the morning it's like being in a holiday resort. And if you want cultural things, they are there too.
"You can't really recommend pubs and clubs because the scene changes so fast. But you can guarantee there'll be something good opening up tomorrow."
