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.MEMBERS OF the Birmingham Midshires may be given the opportunity to impose conditions on the Halifax takeover bid.
The Save our Building Societies campaign has been pressing for a second general meeting giving members the chance to vote on a series of secondary resolutions, which it hopes will thwart the Halifax bid.
Bob Goodall, SoBS coordinator, said it had raised the pounds 5,000 needed to call for a second meeting. "Members will have the opportunity to vote on a number of key resolutions, such as whether branches and jobs at the Midshires should be protected. They will also vote on whether mortgage and savings rates should be protected for the next five years."
