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.

LEADING SHARES ended a roller-coaster session slightly higher, buoyed by a firm Wall Street performance, and index heavyweights BP Amoco and Vodafone AirTouch. The two oil and telecom stocks together added 26 points, helping the FTSE 100 close up 13.4 points at 6,020.6.

Recent excitement over real and rumoured bid activity among the financials abated, and investors waited for next week's interest rate-setting meetings.
