From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Watch again as Madrid’s annual Pride parade took place on Saturday (6 July) as part of Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ demonstration.

Drawing around two million people to the Spanish capital, this year’s theme was “Education, Rights and Peace: Pride that Transforms.”

Starting at Atocha, the colourful demonstration of buses and floats made its way down Paseo del Prado before finishing up at Plaza de Colón.

The parade is held on the first Saturday in July every year, and this years comes after dozens of men raced down the streets of Madrid in four-inch heels on Friday - also a Madrid Pride tradition.
