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.

Watch live as thousands are expected to dance through the streets of Tel Aviv in the city’s internationally renowned Pride parade.

This year’s event, held on Thursday 8 June, celebrates 25 years since the first parade.

As a result of intensely hot weather in Israel, the parade and the party - traditionally held at the end - will be split into two events.

Temperatures could reach 31C and 32C in Tel Aviv over the next 48 hours, according to The Times of Israel.

Parade participants are expected to gather at 4 pm local time and march down the beachside route for around three hours.

As a result of the political situation in the country, politicians will not be allowed to speak at this year’s march, unlike in previous years, with the exception of the mayor of Tel Aviv, Ron Huldai.

Speaking ahead of the parade, he declared the LGBT+ protest movement “extremely important”.
