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.

MEMBERS OF Liffe, London's futures and options exchange, gave overwhelming support last night to a plan to develop an electronic trading system, in hopes of fighting off fierce competition in European derivatives trade. Liffe officials said 97.5 per cent of those who voted at an extraordinary general meeting approved the broad-based plan for Liffe's strategic direction.

Besides developing an in-house electronic platform for financial futures by mid-1999, the plan envisages revamping the membership structure and shifting to a profit-oriented strategy.
