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.

DuPont to sell 17 million shares

DuPont is to sell some of its own shares into the market, after redeeming 156 million shares held by Seagrams, the drinks and entertainment company, last month. DuPont will sell 17 million shares at $65.50 each, 13.6 million in the US and the rest internationally. The proceeds will be used to pay down short-term debt taken on following the Seagram redemption. Seagram used some of the cash to buy MCA, the Hollywood entertainment conglomerate
