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.

An England shirt signed by England captain Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Raheem Sterling and other players is among the lots at our second appeal auction, which ends tonight, and is raising funds for The Independent's AIDSfree appeal.

Bidders can also get a set of prime tickets to Sir Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, with a signed portrait by Andy Gotts.

Cast meet-and-greets are on offer for The Bodyguard and School Of Rock The Musical.

Other lots include a trip to Hadlow Castle, Tonbridge, and to Sir Richard Branson’s safari camp in Kenya.

Proceeds will go to projects such as those in Kiev supported by the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Sir Elton said: “The Foundation has been working in Ukraine since the early 2000s.

“We helped establish the All Ukrainian Network of People Living with HIV, and have saved the lives of thousands … I have also played two free concerts in Kiev to raise awareness … All these activities are underpinned by great partnerships, none more so than the Elena Pinchuk Anti Aids Foundation which has shown such leadership and commitment.”

Remember, the auction closes on Friday, 21 December at 10pm
