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.

KIEV - A doomsday cult's second call to mark the Apocalypse fell largely on deaf ears yesterday when only a handful of people turned out to witness the promised end of the world, Reuter reports. The White Brotherhood's Apocalypse was originally set for 24 November then rescheduled for 14 November because the cult miscalculated the number of 'Biblical days' since its founding. Its latest pamphlet said it was on again for yesterday. Riot police, the officers reading or dozing, stood by outside Kiev's Cathedral of St Sofia, deemed the 'closest point to the cosmos' by the cult.
