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.Property Web site
Lawyers, accountants, property specialists and landlords are the target audience of the Property Forum, a "virtual meeting place" launched as a World Wide Web site on the Internet by the accountants BDO Stoy Hayward.

Mergers conference
Andrew White, head of the Mergers Secretariat at the Office of Fair Trading, will be among the speakers at a half-day seminar on bids and mergers being organised by the solicitors Lovell White Durrant and the lobbyists the Public Policy Unit next Wednesday.
AWB goes regional
Younger members of the Association of Women Barristers are taking steps to develop regional groups for those in the Manchester, Nottingham and Southampton areas. The AWB's chairwoman, Barbara Hewson, says the initiative is prompted by the expense for women outside London of travelling to events. She points out that the Association of Women Solicitors has several regional groups.
Liability seminar
Professor Andrew Burrows, head of the Law Commission team that recently completed its study of joint and several liability, is the principal speaker at a seminar on the subject being hosted by the accountants Deloitte & Touche tonight at the Carpenters' Hall, Throgmorton Avenue, in the City of London.
