Appeals: CARE
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.CARE, a charity working in the poorest communities of the world, is holding 'Sportstrip', a fund-raising exhibition and auction of over 200 cartoons donated by various artists, on Thursday 8 October from 6pm, at the Mall Galleries, London SW1. Works by Charles Schulz, Purple Ronnie, Andy Capp, Mac, Jak, Chris Riddell and Ralph Steadman, amongst others, will be for sale, at prices from about pounds 40: a selection will be auctioned at 7.30pm. All of CARE's overseas projects are self-help in nature: promoting primary health-care, agriculture, environmental conservation and income generation. All money raised from 'Sportstrip' will be spent on delivering food to 1.8 million people in Somalia, at the moment devastated by drought and famine. In the last four months CARE has provided relief assistance to one million people in Mogadishu. For tickets, priced pounds 15, and further information, contact:
CARE, 36-38 Southampton Street, London WC2E 7HE, telephone 071-379 5247.
