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.

FSA takes lead in staff pensions

THE Financial Services Authority (FSA) is leading the way in introducing flexible pensions and other benefits for employees in a move that could set the standard for 21st Century pay schemes, according to the Employers' Forum on Age, which holds its second annual conference tomorrow. Under the approach, employees are given greater choice in relation to the three main components of their earnings - base pay, benefits allowance and pensions contribution. Howard Davies, chairman of the forum, and also head the FSA, said package "is exactly what employers need to encourage a mixed- age workforce".
