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.

AVINASH PERSAUD, one of the highest rated currency analysts in the City, is leaving his job as head of currency research at JP Morgan (formerly UBS) to go to Boston to work for Putnam Investments, one of the oldest and largest money management firms in the US.

Mr Persaud's parents hail from Barbados, while his brother and sister have made equally high-profile careers in the UK. His brother Raj Persaud is the in-house psychiatrist on the daily This Morning show with Richard & Judy on ITV, and also does a regular column for Cosmopolitan.

And their sister Sharda Persaud looks after EMU issues in the research department at Paribas.
