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.

Thomas Cook relaunches Cape Verde as a winter destination after three-years. Weekly charters will depart for Sal from Gatwick from November; packages are offered at seven hotels in Santa Maria resort (thomascook.com).

The route

Loco2.com, the European train booking service, will be selling trips on Spain’s Renfe rail network from Tuesday. Through tickets from the UK are available, with financial protection from delays and disruptions.

Panasonic’s new LumixGM1 digital camera is stylish (bound in tan or black leather), compact (playing card size) and comes with Wi-Fi, 16 megapixel sensor and LCD touch-screen. £630 (panasonic.co.uk/LumixGM).
