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.

SHARE PRICES closed lower, with the Hang Seng index finding key support at 12,800 points amid relief that anti-US protests in China had not spilled out of control and threatened social stability, dealers said.

The Hang Seng closed down 288.83 points at 12,874.37, but the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index closed up 2.42 points at 474.94 as selected H- shares and red chips rebounded after their sharp fall on Monday after the protests broke out.
