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.

Under a Fiver

2007 Trinacria
This tasty little Sicilian rosso, made from a local blend of frappato, nerello and nero d'avola grapes, is a moreish blend of cherry and damson fruitiness with just enough bite to cut through pasta sauces and grilled meats.
£3.79, Waitrose

Under a Tenner

2006 Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay
This is one of California's famous names, and while this is not its top wine, it's a stylish dry white with a peachy fruit and refreshingly pineappley acidity.
£9.99, down from £14.99, Majestic, Waitrose

Splash Out

2005 Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Amarone
A special Veronese "ultra-valpolicella" made using corvina and rondinella grapes dried on mats to concentrate the juices and flavours, this is a powerful liquid fruitcake of a red.
£12.99
