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.

Chemicals group Allied Colloids Group gained more time to publish all information in defence to the hostile pounds 1.07bn takeover bid made by the American group Hercules. The Takeover Panel said yesterday the timetable was being extended as the Office of Fair Trading was yet to decide whether the bid would be referred to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission (MMC). The last day for publication of new information by Allied Colloids, usually the 39th day after the offer document is posted, was this Sunday. The Panel said the "day 39" would now be deemed to the second day after it was made known whether it should be referred to the MMC.
