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.

The kit

Is it a pair of sunglasses, is it a cunningly disguised 4GB USB flash drive? It's both! These Calvin Klein shades would suit James Bond down to the ground. You, too, if you want to keep your computer files by your right temple. Price £120, go to marchon.com

The atlas

The 11th edition of The Times Concise Atlas of the World hits the bookshelves this month, price £90. Fully revised, it contains 260 pages of intricate mapping, plus satellite images and a completely new mapping page of Alaska.

The tour

Inntravel is offering its self-guided walking breaks in Britain for the first time. The Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales are among the new UK routes, with accommodation booked along the way and luggage transported ahead. Go to inntravel.co.uk

Get a week in Sorrento from £474 per person, based on two sharing, with EasyVoyage .co.uk. Departing Manchester on 16 October, the deal includes return flights, half-board accommodation at the four-star Continental Hotel near the Piazza Tasso and resort transfers.
