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.

Rebellion grows at Signet

Directors of Signet, the troubled jewellery group, are coming under pressure from rebellious investors on both sides of the Atlantic to find buyers for the business. Sass Lamle Rubin, a US investment company, and UK Active Value Fund yesterday tabled a resolution calling for an extraordinary meeting of the group's shareholders.

The resolution calls upon the company's directors to identify potential purchasers for the UK and US businesses, to consider other strategic alternatives, and to present the best offers for the businesses for shareholders to vote on within three months of the meeting.
