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.

THE LATEST cash shells are tacking to the prevailing wind, as AIM tries to discourage the spivvier outfits. Alastair King, above, chief executive of Eredene Capital, which starts trading on Thursday, has raised pounds 4m at 25p per share - pounds 1m more than AIM's proposed minimum - and got some institutional investors on board. He is looking for a pounds 30m to pounds 40m acquisition, probably in the mining sector, and hopes to repeat the soaraway success of his last vehicle, Galahad Capital, which is now Galahad Gold.
