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.

Low-fare airline easyJet has announced the destinations it will fly to from Southend next year.

From April 2012, the no-frills carrier will offer services from the Essex airport to Amsterdam, Alicante, Barcelona, Belfast, Faro in Portugal, Ibiza, Malaga in southern Spain and Majorca.

With starting fares from £23.99, tickets went on sale today.

Catherine Lynn, easyJet's customer and revenue director, said: "This is an exciting time to be launching our routes from our newest UK base. The airport is in a fantastic location just outside London with a fast rail link into the city."

Southend airport's managing director Alastair Welch said: "The announcement of the routes really brings to life the exciting development of our airport."
