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.

DANKA BUSINESS SYSTEMS, the stricken photocopier distributor, yesterday warned it might seek protection from its creditors if it could not resolve its financial and legal problems. Shares in Danka plunged 18.5p to 38p as the group disclosed in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that it might file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy if it could not resolve a legal dispute with Eastman Kodak or secure continued funding from GE Capital, the leasing giant.

Danka said it believes its fundamental businesses are sound. Its bankers have agreed to waive covenants on its loans until next February in order to give the company a chance to solve its problems.
