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.Designers and high-street fashion favourites have launched exclusive products to raise funds during the upcoming Breast Cancer awareness month.
British department stores and fashion labels such as M&S, Debenhams, River Island, Topshop and Lola Rose have designed special pieces that contribute to a collection of accessories and clothing, which hits stores today as the world goes pink.
Stella McCartney unveiled the most feminine campaign featuring Kate Moss wearing the designer’s limited-edition lingerie collection in candy pink, the universal colour for breast cancer awareness. The worldwide proceeds will go the Linda McCartney Centre, a cancer patient clinic in Liverpool.
Every year, almost 50,000 women in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer. In efforts to tackle the disease, the charity has joined forces with UK retailers and shoppers to help out.
What better way to contribute then to combine a shopping trip with a charitable endeavour.
It’s the little things that make a difference. From jewellery to handbags and lingerie, here are 17 fashionable ways to support the cause this month:
