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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

Also known as Independence Day, the holiday celebrates the Second Continental Congress\u2019s unanimous adoption of the Declaration of Independence, which occurred on July 4, 1776. The document also marked the establishment of the United States as a sovereign nation, declaring its independence from Great Britain. <\/p>\n
The Fourth of July is considered a federal holiday in the U.S., meaning all banks will be closed. However, online banking and ATMs will be accessible. The stock market and the United States Postal Service will also be shut for the day. <\/p>\n
Many Americans have the day off from work and will flock to beaches and lakes, with plans to spend the day in the sun and see fireworks at night. However, we should all be planning for our annual Fourth of July barbecues accordingly, since some grocery stores and retailers won\u2019t be open at all on the holiday. <\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what stores are open and closed on July 4 this year. <\/p>\n
