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

Apple just held its biggest event of the year. And it launched its biggest product of the year, the iPhone 8 – before going ahead and announcing an even bigger one, the iPhone X.
There was actually three phones: the cheaper iPhone 8, and the premium and more expensive X.
And that wasn't all – there was also an updated Apple Watch, an even better looking Apple TV, and software updates for most of Apple's products.
Follow along here for all the latest updates from Apple's big event, as well as before and after.
Please allow a moment for the liveblog to appear.
"Now, with iPhone 8, with its glass back, we're enabling the freedom of wireless charging."
"Words can't describe how much nicer it is to put it down" and have it charge, says Phil Schiller. You'll be able to do that at home, in cafes and other places that support it, as well as in your car.
"What makes this possible is that we're building into iPhone 8 and 8 Plus: Qi." That's a wireless charging standard that you can already find in a lot of places.
Pre-orders start 15 September. Available from 22 September.
"One more thing." It's back! And it's for the iPhone X.
"We have great respect for these words and we don't use them lightly. Our teams have been hard at work for years on something that is important to all of us: the future of the smartphone."
"10 years later it is only fitting that we are here in this place, on this day, to reveal a product that will se the path of technology for the next decade."
It's called the iPhone X. (And Tim Cook pronounces it 10.)
It's "water and dust resistant at a microscopic level."
