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 your article on the new Tate Gallery (23 June), you refer to a number of artists having settled in St Ives during the Twenties. In fact, Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson and Naum Gabo moved down as a result of the war in 1939, having failed to convince Moore to leave his London studio and join them.

Nicholson and Wood did stay in St Ives for a period in the Twenties when they met Alfred Wallis as mentioned in the article.
