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

You don't score any points for comparing Chesnutt to Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield.

It's already there on the press release and it's clearly intentional: Landing on a Hundred was recorded in Royal Studios, Memphis, using Al Green's actual microphone, and could have been made in 1971. On it, the Atlanta singer delivers soulful, socially conscious meditations. His solution to the state we're in? Depressingly, it's to "build a bridge out of His greatness".
