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.

Canary call

For a low-cost week of lolling around in the sun, try Lanzarote, where a week at the El Guarapo Apartments in Costa Teguise is on offer for £275pp, including breakfast and Thomson flights from Gatwick on 6 June. The apartments have a shared pool and communal restaurant, 200m away from Playa Bastian. Hold baggage and transfers not included (loveholidays.com).

Italy sale

Citalia is hosting a sale on holidays to Italy over the long weekend. You have until midnight on Tuesday to book deals including: a four-night flit to Venice for £349pp, staying at the San Giorgio hotel with breakfast and Monarch flights from Gatwick on 7 July; or a week on the Tuscan coast for £589pp, with half-board at the Grand Hotel Royal in Viareggio and easyJet flights from Bristol to Pisa (citalia.com).

Scenic Provence

Vintage Travel is offering a last-minute deal on a week's rental of the Les Ramiers villa in Provence. The property has a private pool and garden on the edge of the picturesque village of Le Barroux, just north of Avignon. For a group of four, the total price for arrivals on either 1 or 8 June is £695. Flights, ferries or Eurostar train to Avignon extra (vintagetravel.co.uk).

Upmarket Ibiza

If you want to steer clear of San Antonio on your summer jaunt to the White Isle, Sovereign Luxury Travel has a five-night all-inclusive stay at the five-star Grand Palladium Palace in Sant Jordi de Ses Salines, close to Ibiza Town, for £685pp. The deal includes easyJet flights from Gatwick on 16 June, airport lounge access and private transfers. Note that flights are at night in both directions
