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

Fashion: Better late than never
If you've left it until now to order a Father's Day present, there's still time for belated atonement. This "Good to Go" travel washbag by Green People will help salve your conscience not only because it's a great present but also because it's bursting with fresh and ethically produced organic ingredients in the form of an exfoliator, a shaving gel, shower wash and a skin-soothing shampoo. With packaging designed by upcycling label Junky Styling, the set is perfect for your Pops, whether he's going on holiday or not. £20, greenpeople.co.uk
