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: In Christian Wolmar's amusing piece on the RAC Centenary Time Trial (1 February) one vital piece of information was cut. Our chief executive, Neil Johnson, only went through a red light to allow a fire engine to get past to attend an emergency.

A sad postscript to the time trial is that the cycling winner, Kevin Delaney, the RAC's traffic and road safety manager, was knocked off his bike two days later by a coach. We hope that Kevin gets well soon and gets back on his bike.
