Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

The issue of immigration is unavoidable at the Republican National Convention in San Diego. The Mexican border is just a half hour drive away, and many of the hotels hosting delegations wouldn’t last a day without immigrant labor. The question of labor is serious on both sides of the border.

TAPE: Border tour by Juan Gonzalez and Ayoka Medlock, who visit a swearing in ceremony for new citizens.
