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.

Each week, we invite three companies to offer us their best deal for a specific break. This week: some pre-Christmas winter sun in Dubai. Prices are per person, based on two people sharing. Each package includes five nights' accommodation and flights from the UK in early December.

Emirates Holidays - £989

Includes Emirates flights from Birmingham on 5 December and B&B at the Sofitel, plus a two-day spa pass. "This stunning hotel is on The Palm development with chic interiors, a private beach and infinity pool," says Clare O'Hara (020-7590 1485; emiratesholidays.co.uk).

Virgin Holidays - £1,099

Includes Virgin flights from Heathrow on 3 December, transfers and half board at Le Méridien Mina Seyahi. "Set on Jumeirah Beach, the hotel offers a wide range of restaurants, beach bars and three swimming pools," says Caron Streeter (0844 557 3859; virginholidays.co.uk).

Netflights.com - £689

Includes KLM flights from Heathrow via Amsterdam between 10-14 December and B&B at the Ocean View Hotel. "This hotel offers a great location, with all rooms overlooking The Palm," says Colin Birchenough (0844 692 6792; netflights.com). Book by 10 December.
