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.

Barings bondholders in court today

Barings bondholders will be in court today to argue that they should be able to resist the Serious Fraud Office's decision to take over their private prosecution of the former Barings trader, Nick Leeson. The Serious Fraud Office has said it wishes to take the case over and shut it down. The bondholders, who lost pounds 100m in the bank's collapse, argue that Leeson should be tried in the UK rather than Singapore.
