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 bag

Trunki launches a limited-edition F1 Lotus bag for budding Lewis Hamiltons on Friday. As you'll see from page 81, Formula 1 racing is back for the 2013 season, so they'll be ahead of the curve (£50; trunki.co.uk).

The route

BA is selling its first tickets on the Airbus A380 for the Heathrow to Los Angeles route starting on 15 October. Return fares from £499; Heathrow to Hong Kong starts on 15 November (ba.com).

The campsite

Tom's Eco Lodge is a new luxury campsite on the Isle of Wight: safari-style lodges with beds, barbecues and sofas, on the farm that hosted the legendary 1970 Isle of Wight Festival (tomsecolodge.com).
