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.

The MCM Birmingham Comic Con and Memorabilia took place this weekend at the NEC in Birmingham.

Creatures and characters from the world of sci-fi, comedy and film gathered at the event, which is known as "the biggest collectors' event in Britain".

Actors and creators of Dr Who where among those attending the event, giving fans the opportunity to come and meet them.

Comic Con enthusiasts dressed up as The Experiment, Huntress, Berserker Predator, Buzz Lightyear, Star Wars, the Sith and the Simpsons.

The event has previously taken over London, Manchester and Glasgow and this is the first the two conventions get together in Birmingham.
