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.

Marc by Marc Jacobs has launched #CastMeMarc, a casting call that gives everyone the opportunity to be their next model via Twitter and Instagram.

The sister brand has two new creative directors, British designers Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley, while Jacobs focuses on his eponymous mainline.

It’s no surprise that the brand has taken a fresh approach to its first campaign under new leadership, by taking it to social media.

Miley Cyrus was the most recent star to front the designer’s campaign, now you, your friend, your sister or brother could be the next face of Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Enter #CastMeMarc, the Twitter and Instagram-based casting, to enter. Launched on 2 April, the hashtag has seen multiple entries, and has been bombarded with selfies of boys, girls and even babies.

Hillier and Bartley’s debut autumn/winter 2014 collection was all about “narky girls that stomp around”, so they’ll be looking for attitude in the newcomers.

These are some of the entries:
