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.

THE HEAD of Schroders' US unit, Steve Kotler, will quit on 30 June, amid internal wrangling about the future of Britain's largest remaining independent investment and money management firm.

Mr Kotler's resignation, announced to US employees yesterday, comes two weeks after the surprise departure of the group's New York-based global head of corporate finance, Richard Broadbent.

The 185-year-old group, which is about 50 per cent owned by the founding Schroder family, faces increased competition from US investment banks and recently lost two highly rated analyst teams to rivals. A spokeswoman for the firm in New York declined to comment, and Mr Kotler was not immediately available.
