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.

Family Florida

Whisk your family over to Orlando in August. Tour America Direct is offering 14 nights at the Doubletree by Hilton Orlando at SeaWorld for £895 per person, based on two adults and two children departing together from Gatwick on 2 August. Accommodation is room only, but the resort is within walking distance from SeaWorld, Discovery Cove and a short drive from Universal Studios and Disney World (touramericadirect.co.uk).

Ibizan Escape

Ebookers is offering a peak-season short break in Ibiza for £266 per person. The deal includes flights from Manchester on Thursday 16 August and three nights' room-only accommodation at the Hotel Marco Polo on the outskirts of San Antonio (ebookers.com).

Get to Garda

See the sun sparkle on Lake Garda this summer. Inghams is offering a week on its north western shores for £499 per person, including flights from Gatwick on 18 August, transfers and half board at the three-star Palme Hotel in Limone. The hotel has a pool and garden, and a boat service connects the town with Malcesine on the opposite side of the lake, from where the vineyards of Valpolicella and the city of Verona can be explored (inghams.co.uk).

Austria's Lakes

Roam amid the splendid scenery of Austria's Salzkammergut lake district this summer. Crystal has a week's stay at the four-star Hotel Mohrenwirt on Lake Fuschl for £555 per person, including half board, flights from Newcastle on 15 August, and transfers. Salzburg, which hosts its summer festival from 20 July to 2 September, is close by (crystalsummer.co.uk).
