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.

Sir: Can Marion Hume ('When fashion is no excuse at all', 26 May) predict at what age Kate Moss will be old enough to model lingerie? After silicon implants perhaps? By insisting that only 'bosomy Amazonians' constitute the image of a grown-up woman, Ms Hume falls into the same fashion trap of which she is so critical.

There are enough women who, surrounded by images of 'Page 3 girls', are made to feel sufficiently inadequate to resort to surgery, without Ms Hume carping on about flat chests. I for one am pleased to see a woman portrayed as sexy without wearing a 36D.

Yours faithfully,
