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.

From Mr Larry McLean

Sir: The "stakeholder society" is what we Liberal Democrats have been advocating for at least 60 years. Remember the Yellow Book of the 1920s, calling for all employees (and I stress all) to have a stake in the business they work for?

Papal encyclicals support this policy, especially Pacem in Terris, Quadragesimo Anno and Gaudem et Spes. The new catechism of the Catholic Church supports the concept of profit-sharing and co-operation between owners and workers.

I write as an investor in industrial equity shares, but I would willingly forgo some of my dividends if it would bring peace and stability in our industries.

Yours sincerely,

Larry McLean
