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.Today: Check into the Château Charly, a luxury B&B in a 19th-century mansion in central France. Run as a not-for-profit organisation, the B&B is donating room rates to charities in Haiti and Sri Lanka ( chateaucharly.com).
In the diary: It's the last chance for intrepid young travellers to win a trip to Nepal with the Young Adventurer of the Year competition, run by National Geographic in association with The Independent. The closing date is Wednesday, 31 August ( ngkids.co.uk/adventure).
This week: Two of London's luxury hotels have launched cycling initiatives. The W has commissioned six bikes designed by the likes of Patrick Cox and Paloma Faith and are available to guests until they're auctioned on 29 October. The InterContinental Park Lane has created a "B-Spoke" experience with Rob Penn, including a hosted ride with the author ( london.intercontinental.com).
