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. Today: a coastal escape to the northern Italian region of Liguria. Prices are per person, based on two sharing. Each package includes a week's accommodation and flights from Gatwick in June.

Kuoni - £1,049

Includes British Airways flights to Genoa on 19 June, private transfers and B&B at four-star Grand Hotel Bristol in Rapallo. "You can enjoy beautiful views of the Tigullio Gulf from the rooftop garden and pool, or visit the harbour in Rapallo," says Nicky Betts (01306 747008; kuoni.co.uk).

Citalia - £775

Includes BA flights to Genoa on 20 June and B&B at the four-star Hotel Canali in Rapallo. Transfers extra. "The Ligurian coast has some of Italy's most exclusive resorts. This beautifully renovated hotel is a perfect base for the region's beaches and villages," says Steph Pritchard (0843 770 4443; citalia.com).

Classic Collection - £1,229

Includes Norwegian flights to Nice on 23 June, private transfers to San Remo and B&B at the five-star Royal Hotel Sanremo. "This stunning hotel is near the promenade and beach. Past guests have included Clark Gable and Luciano Pavarotti," says Gary Boyer (0800 294 9315; classic-collection.co.uk).
