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.

Echoes of the 1960s VW Microbus, as Volkswagen's new California draws on its rich heritage as the West Coast surfer's wheels of choice. The Caravelle-based California has light alloy chairs, table and awning; and two sleeping areas are available, one in the main body and one in a "private" roof area. Options include European-wide satellite navigation and Climatronic air conditioning. Volkswagen's 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system may also be specified for those tricky beach runs. Entry-level recreational fun from Volkswagen starts from £34,000, so only well-heeled former hippies need apply.
