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.

I can see for miles
Quinta Shantimar, Algarve, Portugal
Price: £5.26m
Agent: Quadrant Overseas Property
Tel: 01276 507 513

We say: Pretty amazing villa with well-thought out interior design, which has a master bedroom over the entire top floor, a vast living room that makes the most of the views and a huge pool area.
Riviera rental
Cannes Francia, Cannes, France
Price: from £115,400
Agent: Pierre & Vacances
Tel: 0800 001 5551
They say: This redevelopment of 30 studios and apartments is located in one of the most sought-after and glamorous addresses in the south of France. The homes have views of Cannes bay and are just one kilometre from the beach.
We say: The location is undoubtedly popular and buyers are being encouraged to see these residences as an investment rather than a second-home option. Apartments are being sold under the leaseback system, which offers a guaranteed rental income.
Swiss hit
Le Hameau des Liches, Valais, Switzerland
Price: £416,000
Agent: Chesterton International
Tel: 020-7201 2070
They say: A development of three three-bedroom chalets, built from wood and stone. Properties will be very modern with picture windows offering superb views.
We say: With lots of snow in Europe this year, these lovely, large homes will appeal to those who want to get close to the slopes. And, for those who don't, there's the option of adding a sauna or hot tub.
Let's talk Turkey
Forest Apartment, Altinkum, Turkey
Price: £40,000
Agent: Turkish Homes
Tel: 0845 331 2644
They say: This two-bed apartment is located right by the beach in this popular tourist resort. The town's amenities are on your doorstep and the property comes fully furnished.
We say: Ideal cheap-and-cheerful bolthole for those who want low-key resort living. Altinkum is more than an hour from the nearest airport, which keeps tourist numbers down. Planned improvements, including a new marina and golf course, will raise the town's profile.
Snow business
Kicking Horse, British Columbia, Canada
Price: from £132,000
Agent: Pure International
Tel: 020-7331 4407
They say: A wide selection of apartments, minutes from superb ski terrain in a resort that is expected to rival Whistler. Other amenities include a championship golf course and spa facilities.
We say: This part of Canada is taking off as both a summer and winter destination, and these modern units provide a good year-round base. The downside is that you'll have to put up with building work until 2017.
