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.A hippy enclave at the heart of the Copenhagen cannabis trade will mark its 40th anniversary by selling shares to raise funds to get the government off its back.
Proceeds from Christiania's "people's shares" will go into a fund to finance a 76m crown (£9m) property deal with the government – which will give residents of the self-proclaimed freetown the right to stay on property where they have been squatting since 1971.
The shares will not give holders any stake in Christiania or voting rights, so buying them amounts to a donation.
