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.

Prada's £1.6bn Hong Kong initial public offering is five times subscribed.

The Milan fashion house launched the retail section of its IPO on Sunday. It set an indicative price range of HK$36.5 (£2.89) to HK$48. That range values the luxury goods company between $11.4bn and $14.6 bn.

Strong demand for Prada's IPO comes after investors have baulked at some recent Hong Kong offers amid choppy equity markets.

Prada would be the first Italian company to float in Hong Kong.
