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.

The worsening Balkans situation and the lack of any inspiration from New York left Footsie down 43.8 points at 6,016.7; at one time the index was off 92.2. Supporting shares were also in retreat. WH Smith, the retailer, was the latest to climb aboard the Internet bandwagon, jumping 67.5p to a 657.5p peak following a deal with Microsoft and BT. But Dixons, the electrical retailer which roared ahead on its Internet link, was hit by profit taking, falling 113p to 1,239p.
