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.

Ericsson to move HQ to London

ERICSSON, the Swedish telecoms group, is transferring a large part of its corporate headquarters from Stockholm to London. The company's president and chief executive will have offices in London as well as the Swedish capital, and London will also become the location for Ericsson's finance department. London will also serve as one of four regional offices covering Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Peter Mandelson, Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, welcomed Ericsson's move as a vote of confidence in Britain following Shell's decision to close its London headquarters.
