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.

The kit

Q-BOPZ is a new portable Bluetooth speaker for MP3 players, smartphones and tablets. It can be used up to 10m away and plays for up to seven hours via rechargeable batteries. £29.99 (qdossound.com).

The hotel

The SoCo Hotel has brought a flavour of Miami Beach to Barbados. With an Art Deco design, the hotel – just south of Bridgetown – has 24 rooms, a waterfront restaurant, spa treatments and a pool (thesocohotel.com).

The event

The Sculpture by the Sea Aarhus biennial returns to eastern Denmark on Saturday. Throughout June, 60 sculptures from around the world will take up residence on the city's beach (sculpturebythesea.dk).
