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: A trio of new hotels opens: the Istanbul Edition courtesy of Ian Schrager and Marriott ( editionhotels.com); the much-delayed St John Hotel and restaurant in the West End of London ( stjohnhotellondon.com); and The Residence in Zanzibar ( theresidence.com).

This week: Cotswold Outdoor stores are offering free navigation courses with Ordnance Survey, which will teach compass skills and map reading and offer discounts on maps. Running until June, the first course takes place on Tuesday in Carmarthen ( cotswoldoutdoor.com).

In the diary: You need not be a man or travel to St Moritz to have a go at the Cresta Run. The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead is offering its own version for Easter, starting next Saturday, 9 April. There are inflatable skeletons for adults and mini-sledges and inflatable rings for children to navigate the 100m run complete with real snow ( thesnowcentre.com).
