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.THE FRENCH government yesterday said it would raise 36.8bn French francs (pounds 3.9bn) from the sale of France Telecom shares to private investors in Europe's biggest public offering of the year.
Nearly 3m people have signed up for the shares, to be offered at 390 francs each, in the hope of seeing a repeat of the gains that followed France Telecom's pounds 4.3bn initial public offering in October last year.
