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.

Cashing eurocheques is slowly being phased out in France, making it increasingly difficult for holidaymakers to use the facility.

Only four French banks still offer a eurocheque encashment service in the majority of their branches, leaving many tourists stranded in remote areas without any means of obtaining cash. The banks say that they have suffered from fraud by continuing to offer a eurocheque encashment service.
