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.Time is running out to bid in our Christmas Appeal online auction - packed with once in a lifetime travel, sporting and fashion prizes that would make ideal Christmas gifts.
Readers have just four days left to opt for opportunities including a week-long stay in a luxury health retreat in the foothills of the Himalayas, five star getaways in Europe, a private dinner catered by a celebrity chef and chances to take home merchandise from London's top football teams.
Britain's Got Talent fans can also snap up tickets to the semi final in the Spring, complete with a chance to meet and snap a celebratory selfie with Simon Cowell, while ethical fashionistas can bid for limited edition Stella McCartney clothing and accessories.
Also on offer is an original cartoon by the Standard’s Christian Adams.
This paper is raising funds for the Felix Project so that the capital’s most deprived children do not go to bed hungry this Christmas. Market-style stalls will, with readers’ help, be set up in 120 schools across London over the next two years, giving disadvantaged children and their families a chance to take home a paper bag filled with healthy, nutritious food – items that would otherwise have ended up in landfill.
All proceeds from the auction will go towards our Help a Hungry Child appeal, and Hartnett’s one-off menu will comprise dishes created from ingredients that commonly become food waste in recognition of the campaign.
Our auction is powered by Givergy, an award-winning fundraising technology company which offers a range of cutting edge platforms to help charities raise more at fundraising events and online.
The auction closes at 10pm on December 8.
