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.

Ultra-Orthodox rabbis have declared Israel's planetarium off limits, saying its light show is a heresy because it dates the world's creation to billions of years ago, AP reports from Jerusalem.

Jewish belief says God made the world 5,753 years ago, with the date based on the generations cited in the Bible.

The controversy erupted even though the planetarium offers two versions of the creation - one for secular audiences saying it was about 15 billion years ago, the other for the religious saying it happened 'a long, long time ago'.
