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.

Peaks of perfection

Protected by Unesco as an area of "outstanding natural beauty", the Italian Dolomites offer miles of hiking, biking and trekking among the majestic peaks. Crystal Summer has a week-long stay at the Chalet Salvan – elevated on a slope above the village of Selva Gardena – with half-board for £416 per person. The deal includes Thomson Airways flights from Manchester to Verona on 10 September and transfers. www.crystalsummer.co.uk

Cultural Portugal

Roman ruins, gothic chapels and medieval walls vie for attention in Evorá – the hilltop capital of Portugal's Alentejo region. Sunvil Discovery has a week-long stay at the Hotel Evorá – a short walk from the well-preserved Old Town – for £458 per person with breakfast. The deal includes Sunvil charter flights from Heathrow to Beja on Sundays throughout September (4, 11, 18 and 25) and transfers. www.sunvil.co.uk/alentejo
