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 Christopher Road

Sir: The thinking behind the stakeholder economy, as described in David Marquand's interesting article ("A stake through the heart of old simplicities", 15 January), is strikingly reminiscent of Catholic social teaching. Not widely known in this country, this substantial body of thought has been developed by successive popes over the past 100 years and provides the moral arguments for a stakeholder society as described by Professor Marquand.

Yours faithfully,

Christopher Road
