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.Staff at The Independent were given a rare treat on a chilly Friday afternoon when Mercury and Brit award-nominated singer Jessie Ware performed an impromptu acoustic gig at our offices.
The 28-year-old singer joked she was going to “sing very slowly” as she was only there to perform two tracks before giving impressive renditions of “Wildest Moments” and “Running” with a guitar accompaniment.
Fresh from the Brit Awards on Wednesday night Jessie’s appearance at Northcliffe House, High Street Kensington (also home to our stablemates the Evening Standard, Daily Mail and Metro) is unlikely to have been the singer’s most glamorous booking of the week.
She had been brought to us by the people of streaming service Spotify to promote their premium service and spent a good hour chatting to journalists on the sofas and being gawped at as we ran to and fro to the canteen for coffee and sandwiches.
