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.

Trip off to Thailand

Thomson Tailormade has a tempting late-summer deal in Thailand: fly from Heathrow via Muscat to Bangkok on Oman Air on 13 September, transfer to the Regent Chalet hotel in Cha-Am, and stay for eight nights, room only, for just £499. The hotel has spacious rooms, a large pool and a sandy beach with views across the Gulf of Thailand. Book by 19 August. www.thomsontailormade.com

Red City retreat

Days become milder and the nights cooler during November in Marrakech, making it easier to wander the narrow streets of the enticing medina. Kuoni has five nights, half board, at the Golden Tulip Farah hotel for £399, including BA flights from Gatwick on either 17 or 24 November. The hotel has a large outdoor pool and is located a short walk away from the Unesco-protected medina, within which is the lively main square and Koutoubia Mosque. await. www.kuoni.co.uk

Alternative Ibiza

Far from the crowds of San Antonio, the "White Isle" has many surprising coves and quiet corners. Travel to the north in October and easyJet Holidays has an all-inclusive week, departing Stansted on 16 October, at the Hotel Club Portinatx for £247.50 per person. The hotel is half an hour from the cobbled streets of Ibiza Town, with its picturesque marina, restaurants and boutiques. www.holidays.easyjet.com
