Letter: In brief
Your support helps us to tell the story
My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.
Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.
Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Sir: The tax and benefit system does not exist to subsidise the inefficiency or excess profits of bad employers (Right of Reply, 6 April).
If a competent employer cannot find pounds 3.60 plus costs and adequate profit from an hour of an employee's labour, that job is not economically viable. It should be made viable (by better management or investment) or it should disappear.
We can ignore the crocodile tears of Ruth Lea, head of policy at the Institute of Directors, about job losses.
Since when has the IoD cared about poor people?
It is up to the IoD's members to create decent jobs at decent wages instead of whinging about anything that means less time on the golf course.
