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.

If you've ever wondered where to get your hands on an Elton John stage outfit designed by Versace, a Patrick Cox "Wannabe" scooter (right) or an original work by Damien Hirst, London Lighthouse has the answer. The Aids charity has all this and more - including a cruise to Venice, the Greek islands and Athens; a David Linley console table; a part in the next Duncan "Four Weddings and a Funeral" Kenworthy film and a limited- edition carriage clock donated by the Princess of Wales shortly before her death - on offer at their auction at Phillips on Thursday. There'll also be the chance to take part in a grand draw. The whole event is a fund-raiser for Lighthouse's Capital Appeal, which aims to increase support for men, women and children affected by HIV and Aids.

Phillips, 101 New Bond St, W1 (info: 0181-383 5767) 6.30pm Thur 20 Nov. Tickets are pounds 45, including champagne reception, catalogue and canapes
