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.

Wine connoisseurs will soon get a chance to imbibe some California Wine Company stock. The group, which produces wine in the Napa Valley and is traded on Ofex, is raising $1.67m (pounds 990,000) through a one-for- four rights issue at $1.50 (88.8p) a share. The money will be used to renovate and expand part of its vineyard, and to buy wine in bulk to benefit from higher demand in the marketplace. The shares closed unchanged at 70.5p.

The Range Cooker Company is cooking up a listing on AIM. It is trying to raise pounds 700,000 to develop its Britannia range of ovens, and to introduce its new Sheffield line. The group is expected to be capitalised at around pounds 6.25m when trading begins on December 1. In the year to the end of April 1997, pre-tax profits jumped from pounds 164,000 to pounds 990,000.
