I need bigger gloves because my thumb is a big toe'
"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."
"Straight away, I knew how bad it was and I just worried that I wouldn't be able to fix shoes again. I cried my eyes out when I thought about it, as I thought I was going to lose my shop. I was more concerned about that than my thumb because this is my passion. It all happened so fast but I felt no pain at all."
Journalists are deployed to cover reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech and to investigate financial and political activity, supported by donor funding so reporting remains free and accessible without paywalls. Donations enable on-the-ground reporting, documentary production, and investigations into topics such as political PACs and women's reproductive rights activism. David Lee, a cobbler from Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, suffered a 2019 workplace accident when his jumper became entangled with machinery and his thumb was sliced off. He feared losing his shop, felt little pain during the incident, and later underwent a toe-to-thumb replacement, noting only the need for larger gloves.
