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.Some musicians sing for their supper, but pop duo Summer Camp – aka Elizabeth Sankey and Jeremy Warmsley – are cooking supper for their singing. To fund their upcoming debut album, the wholesome twosome are flogging a series of endearing personalised experiences on the nascent PledgeMusic website – including hosting a dinner party.
For £300, you and a pal can be wined and dined at Warmsley's flat in London. "We'd probably cook something from the Leon cookbook," explains Sankey. "We like to think we'd invite round other exciting people for you to converse with. But in reality it would probably just be us with nothing to talk about except film director John Hughes. I wonder why no one has snapped this one up yet?"
The thoroughly likeable indie duo look set to crossover from bedsit concern to mainstream recognition with their album Welcome to Condale, and its catchy single "Better Off without You". But like everyone in the music industry now, making cash is the tricky bit. Which is why the duo have decided to sell off such charming trinkets as the chance to have a song written about you (£250), or a home-baked batch of Sankey's brownies (£28). Sankey says: "I'm proud of my brownie recipe. I've tweaked it over the past three years, so I'm pretty confident with it."
One item seems like it might not find a home though. Elizabeth's silver jumpsuit (£100). No takers?
