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.

FOOTSIE SUFFERED one of its biggest one-day falls since the 1987 crash, slumping 174.7 points to 5,136.6 as the market expressed alarm over New York's slide and the possible impeachment of President Clinton. The no-change bank rate decision also hit sentiment.

Supporting shares gave ground. Centrica led blue chips with a 9.25p gain to 108p but the star performer was Arsenal on the fringe Ofex market. The possibility of a bid lifted each of the football club's shares pounds 1,100 to pounds 4,000.
