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 specific break. This week: a holiday on the Italian island of Sicily. Prices are per person, based on two people sharing. Each package includes a week's accommodation and easyJet flights from Gatwick on Saturday 21 September.

Cresta Holidays - £1,020

Includes flights to Catania, private transfers and B&B at the Hotel Hellenia in Giardini Naxos. "Set on the stunning beach of Giardini Naxos, the Hotel Hellenia has a warm and charming atmosphere, complemented by a central beachfront location," say Katie Elson (0871 895 0075; crestaholidays.co.uk).
