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.

Oil jobs axed

BP AMOCO is cutting 900 jobs in England and Scotland, about 1 per cent of its world-wide workforce, the newly formed Anglo-American giant said. The bulk of the cuts come from onshore exploration and production staff being reduced by about 500 in London and up to 200 in Aberdeen. Further world-wide job losses were expected.
