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.

Sir: Will closer integration with Europe mean we get more Bank Holidays (UK eight, other EU countries nine, 10 or 11)? And if so, where would it go?

How about some time in mid- to late January? Three weeks after the New Year, that extra holiday could be a life-saver; with dismal weather and short days, everyone has a tendency to feel depressed.

In addition, skiers would get another weekend on the piste, and Muslims might get a Bank Holiday at the end of Ramadan.
