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.

Letter: Battle of the sexes

Sir: Suzanne Moore (Comment, 13 May) misses the point that women in power can also face both ways, observing morality in public whilst practising immorality in private. If power and wealth are the aphrodisiac that drives this type of behaviour, then it is unsurprising that men more than women feature in the headlines. As more women gain the same public status, look for the statistics to change. This is not a gender issue, it is an issue of human frailty, regardless of sex.
