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.

WALL STREET head higher yesterday afternoon after a report showing lower-than-expected manufacturing activity eased inflation fears. By midday, the Dow Jones was up 81 points, or 0.75 per cent, at 10,958 points.

The National Association of Purchasing Management offered some relief from fears the Fed could raise rates to stem inflation. Its index for November was 56.2 versus an expected 56.3 per cent. In October, the measure was 56.6 per cent.
