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.

From March 1, fans of Westin's hotel experience will be able to purchase items from its merchandise collection on a branded Amazon site, making it the first hotel to have an Amazon.com storefront.
Products on sale will include the "Heavenly Bed" set, found in all Westin rooms and complete with mattress, pillows, duvets and sheets. The hotel's signature "Heavenly Bath" amenity collection and White Tea scented candles will also be on sale, alongside "like-minded" brands such as Gaiam, Kate's Paperie, Tea Forté and Riedel.
Westin says the store is dedicated to "must have lifestyle products" and will also retail fitness gear, healthy snacks, home décor, wellness books and workout DVDs. Westin guests who stay twice mid-week from February 22 through May 13, 2010 will receive a $100 Amazon.com gift card to use in the store.
Many hotel chains now offer consumers the opportunity to buy their products to take home. Westin claims that it has sold nearly 40,000 Heavenly Beds, 100,000 pillows, more than 32,000 sheets, and more than 10,000 signature Heavenly spa amenities through its Westin at Home store. Marriott fans can also buy their favorite beds and products at ShopMarriott, whilst Hilton sells its bedding and product through its Hilton To Home storefront.
