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 advice

Show your photographers to the judges of the 2009 Insight Guides and IoS Travel Photography Competition at Stanfords in London on 27 October. Email juliaspence .pr@gmail.com to book a slot from 8pm-9pm.

The website

Check out the new website sports-outlet.co.uk. Specialising in the Scott brand, it has launched for the winter sports' season and is offering 50 per cent off 2009 ski and snowboard kit and clothing for both men and women.

The luggage

Millican has added a utility roll-top bag to its range of travel-friendly gear. Inspired by the original messenger bags that would once have carried mail, the quirkily named Stewart the Courier Bag costs £140, available from homeofmillican.com

The bargain

Take a break in Stockholm and Gothenburg with hotels from £64 a night, flights from £67, and packages from £112. Create your own itinerary or snap up one of 13 specially themed packages on a new website created by local tourist groups, visitsweden .com/citybreaks
