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.
Apple apparently very impressed that you can now get Apple Music properly on your wrist. (To me that seems sort of obvious, given it now has a data connection...) They're showing an ad demonstrating as much, showing a man irresponsibly skateboarding in a packed station.
Tim Cook is talking about big TV screens and inflection points. (Spoiler: he's moving towards a HDR and 4K Apple TV.)
Eddy Cue's on stage, talking about how the Apple TV 4K is "incredible". We're hearing about how detailed 4K is. And how important HDR is.
"While 4K is about the number of pixels, HDR is about better pixels."
This is of course a little difficult to see from home... Eddy Cue is talking about how rich 4K is – except almost everyone will be watching at home on a non-4K screen...
Apple is making 4K available for the same price as HD on iTunes. AND, if you've bought one of those films already in HD, you'll get them in 4K HDR for free. (That's a nice deal.)
