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

The action film Fast Five, the fifth in the Fast and the Furious franchise, has been illegally downloaded more than any other film this year.
The blockbuster, which grossed $626m (£406m) worldwide at the box office, was also popular with the pirates, with more than 9.2 million downloads in 2011, according to the TorrentFreak blog.
The comedy The Hangover Part II was the second most pirated film of the year. The British Oscar winner The King's Speech was ninth on the illegal download list.
