Your support is crucial…For the thousands of people about to head off toward Black Rock City, Nev., the home of the annual Burning Man art festival, it won’t be necessary to wait until you get there to orient yourself. That’s because the official Burning Man map is up and viewable.

With an uncertain future and a new administration casting doubt on press freedoms, the danger is clear: The truth is at risk.
