Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
COMMUNITY CASH: More than 300 new schemes to help ethnic minority communities will share about £30m of Government cash, the Home Secretary, Michael Howard, disclosed. This was in addition to £53m in the coming year for existing projects, the vast majority of which will continue to be funded until 1996-97. The new money will help provide 1,800 teachers, 300 classroom assistants, 900 project workers and access to social services and jobs, he said. The cash is available under a scheme designed to help projects which tackle language and cultural barriers, and 95% is for education schemes, mainly teaching English to schoolchildren and other ethnic minority members.
