Letter: Power to change
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: Anna Coote ("Feminists must back fathers", 17 May) says that for men to become closer to their children, women will have to move over. Having had four children and several career changes and re-starts, I have no small interest in this subject. What is required is pressure for change in working practices which would allow men and women to share the child- rearing role in the way that best suits individual couples.
This will have to come from women. Unfortunately they have very little power and many men who have the power to change things appear to be more than satisfied with the status quo.
