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.

Each week we invite three companies to offer us their best deal for a specific break. This week, the chance to acquaint yourself with the nightlife of Rio de Janeiro, on a break to Brazil's bustling beachside city. Prices are per person, based on two sharing. Each includes flights from Heathrow in September and a week's accommodation.

British Airways Holidays - £1,569

Includes direct BA flights on 13 September and room-only at the Caesar Park Ipanema. Transfers extra. "Situated on one of the world's most famous beaches, this hotel is steps away from the abundant bars and vibrant nightlife of Ipanema," says Laura Macmillan (0844 493 0758; ba.com/riodejaneiro).

Travelbag - £1,369

With KLM flights via Amsterdam on 12 September and B&B at the Best Western Sol Ipanema. Transfers extra. "This hotel guarantees a fun and stylish stay, with great views of the Atlantic," says Rianne Ojeh (0871 703 4240; travelbag.co.uk).

Journey Latin America - £1,177

Includes Iberia flights via Madrid on 10 September, transfers and B&B at the Atlantis Copacabana Hotel. "The Atlantis has easy access to Copacabana, Ipanema and the old centre, with its lively bars and Samba clubs," says Megan Parkinson (020-8747 8315; journeylatinameirca.co.uk).
