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.

Yell Group, the publisher of Yellow Pages directories, is likely to launch a £500m rights issue on Monday after winning approval from all but one of its lenders for a cash call.

The company is awaiting for the nod from a final creditor after saying yesterday that it was close to winning wholesale approval for its £3.8bn refinancing plan. Yell needs the backing of 95 per cent of lenders to amend its bank loans and launch the equity deal.
