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.

Fantastic fares to Iceland are on sale from easyJet, with departures across the UK.
EasyJet has just released its winter fares and is offering discounts for those travelling in pairs, so to see the lowest fares make sure you add a second passenger when searching.
September to April is the best time to see the Northern Lights, which lines up nicely with the dates covered in this deal.
How to book
Head to Google Flights and enter your departure airport from the list below and Reykjavik as the destination.
Importantly, to see the lowest prices you’ll need to select two passengers travelling. The prices then shown will be the total for both. You may want to add an “easyJet” filter to the “Airlines” option to help find the dates included in this deal.
Use Google Flights’ calendar tool to help you highlight the best travel dates (they’ll show up in green).

Pro tip
Iceland’s mountainous “F-Roads” are the best way to see the country, but make sure to rent a four-wheel drive vehicle to explore them.
