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.

Nearly half of Chinese with assets worth more than 10 million yuan (£990,000) are considering moving abroad, according to a survey by the Bank of China and the Hurun Report.

The US and Canada are the most popular destinations, and 14 per cent of the 980 millionaires surveyed have either already moved or were applying to do so. The main reasons given are better education and asset security, and a less polluted environment.
