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.

Wake up – it's Mother's Day on Sunday 10 March but you still have time to get a thoughtful gift at good value (just don't tell mum you got a deal on it!). For starters, many of the candles offered at Parable Designs are on offer at up to 47 per cent off while its Rapeseed Candles (pictured above) are available with free delivery for Mother's Day. The candles' unique designs are taken from vintage wallpaper printing rollers from the 19th century. Find out more at www.parabledesigns.co.uk

Hair-raising deal to save you £40

Make tracks for a cut-price Railcard
