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.

In need of some inspiration for your Halloween costume. Check out this gallery on Flavorwire of the most incredible costumes from New York's Comic Con, a sci-fi, comic book and fantasy convention based in midtown Manhattan.

Doug Levy explains: "The amount of time and effort spent on outfits varied greatly, but there were many that stood out — whether it was for attention to detail, commitment to character, or just representing that perfect pop-cultural touchstone that we all wish we had thought of first. The best of the best earned themselves a place in our exclusive NYCC 2012 photo gallery."
