Letter: Whose absence?
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

YOUR REPORT on Ros Hepplewhite, the new director of the Child Support Agency ('The quiet woman on the trail of runaway fathers', 14 February) refers to our organisation as 'representing absent parents'.
May I point out that the majority of non-custodial parents find the term 'absent parent' to be extremely offensive as they consider their children to be absent from them.
