A video interview with one of our volunteer pilots is helping to give people a lot of hope in a difficul ttime: www.instagram.com/p/DOqytq_jvCw/

The only way for Evil to win is for Good people to do nothing. So like Mr. Rogers told us when we were kids, "Look for the helpers." So how do you help? #trans #transrights #aviation #airplanes #airplane #pilot #pilots #reproductivejustice

Hi, everyone, I'm Liz M (she/they), here for our final staff takeover for Pride Month!

The Stonewall Uprising was a response to the continuing oppression of the LGBTQIA+ community by police in New York City. While LGBTQIA+ elders had fought for acceptance for years, the uprising began a larger cultural shift towards acceptance. The work is not over, and the resistance continues today.

Happy Pride Month from Oliver, our Gender-Affirming Care Coordinator!

Mike Bonanza runs Elevated Access. Bonanza's group recruits pilots who fly people to places they can access abortion & gender-affirming care (pilots are volunteers; flights are no charge). Unlike commercial flights, passengers don't need drivers licenses. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Roe was the floor. We always deserved better, and better will come someday. Until then, we work with communities across the country using our network of volunteer pilots to get people to the care they need.

If you're looking for action after this week's SCOTUS decision, you can help families of trans kids can still get care in other states. We provide free air travel with both volunteer pilots and airline flights to make sure no one is left behind. (Thank you, Ariana Grande, for the shout out.)

BREAKING: 9 trans rights activists with @genderlib.com arrested in front of Supreme Court while protesting Skrmetti ruling www.advocate.com/news/trans-a...

Today myself and nine other activists with @genderlib.com were arrested in front of the Supreme Court while protesting for the rights of Trans Youth. These are scary times but we must act up and fight back for our rights and our children’s rights.

Happy Juneteenth! We celebrate the emancipation of enslaved people people at the end of the Civil War, and we recognize the work continues every day. We're not free until we're all free. #juneteenth

Adriana Smith did not give birth to a baby. She was used as an incubator, cut open, and a baby was taken out of her lifeless body. A Black woman was used as a science experiment.

To every trans and nonbinary young person: You are real. You are loved. You are free to be yourself, to live boldly, to dream big. You are thriving. You are leading. You are shaping the future. Today hurts, but you are not alone. Not now.Not ever.We see you. We believe in you. We’re with you. Always

With hundreds of volunteer pilots all over the country, we help parents access gender-affirming care for their children, even if it means traveling hundreds of miles. Donate. Volunteer. Resist.

This is insane

Every day is an effort to resist hate. Every day is an opportunity to make the world a better, safer place.

There is a lot of disinformation and propaganda about trans people and gender-affirming care. So we're using today to help people learn what gender-affirming care is. People of all ages choose gender-affirming care, and it's never their responsibility to tell you the whats and whys of their journey.

From founder and ED Mike: Today is the 3rd anniversary of our first official flight, and we have also hit 2500 passengers flown. When I was getting the organization launched, I never imagined how much it would accomplish in such a short time, supporting abortion and gender-affirming care

For Pride Month, we're highlighting, Robina Asti, a veteran, pilot, and activist who was a transgender woman. She did an interview as part of TEDx in 2016 when she was 94 years old about her experiences and with advice for younger folks that may also interest you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsbS...

This year we're feeling the joy and hope that runs throughout the community. We're joined together in resistance to help each other and everyone around us. This month our whole team is working to make content to share with you, so be sure you're following us. #pridemonth #pride #2dlgbtqiaplus

Happy Pansexual and Panromantic Awareness and Visibility Day from all of us at Elevated Access! May 24th is annually recognized as a day to spread awareness and foster understanding of the pansexual and panromantic identities, and their differences from other queer identities

I know we’re all feeling overwhelmed and despairing. What’s happening to this country—not just on abortion rights, but with everything—is soul-wrenching. But as tempting as it is to stew in that sadness, I’m asking us all to stand up and snap out of it. Because this issue needs us right now.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Elevated Access!

This week’s AAF @bust_magazine blog breaks down abortion by the numbers: 1️⃣1️⃣ mins in Girl Boss Space could have funded all abortions (or 1 REALLY fancy one) 1️⃣2️⃣ states are trying to bring gals to the gallows for getting BASIC healthcare &... ♾️ ways for you to fight back, link in our bio! 💫

Today marks the day that the state issued the documents to bring us officially into existence! What started from an anti-racism workshop has become a national reproductive justice effort by flying people for free to access abortion and gender-affirming care.

New Resource just dropped! We dive into abortions later in pregnancy—why do folks have them, why are they so inaccessible, and how do we break the pervasive stigma that exists around them? Learn more: apiaryps.org/resource-lib...

"Federally funded programs such as Title X are crucial in providing access to affordable reproductive health care." Our VP for Public Policy @kellybaden.bsky.social spoke with @washingtonpost.com about the likely devastating impact of funding cuts to #TitleX. Read more: gu.tt/3Rj3NZz

Hoping that all our trans friends, family, and neighbors have a day of joy for this year’s Trans Day of Visibility!

NOAA plays a critical role in aviation operational safety, especially as weather diverges from historical patterns due to climate change

Happy #internationalwomensday from all of us at Elevated Access! We see you and honor your power, whether cis, trans, or otherwise calling yourself “Woman”

1/ The fight over mifepristone isn’t over. GenBioPro, the maker of generic mifepristone, is stepping in to defend its drug from a new lawsuit by conservative AGs trying to ban it—despite the Supreme Court unanimously rejecting similar claims last year. rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/03/05/m...

More simply put, this means gender-affirming care providers nationwide will continue to receive federal funding, pending further litigation. It's great news.

The possibility there might be a trans girl on a high school sports team? Consequential Someone going "I prefer the pronoun 'they'" when called "him" or "her"? Consequential Federal government treating ~2m trans people in the US as less-than, imposing discriminatory policy? Inconsequential Insane

Do better @nytimes.com. Fascism begins with attacking the people with the least power. Attacks on trans people, especially Black trans people and trans kids, is very consequential in the attempts to erase their existence

The Stonewall Riots happened because trans people, particularly of color, rose up against state violence. You can’t even begin to tell the story without our trans ancestors and elders. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

I promised some historical background relevant to the implication that "DEI" had played a role in Wednesday's tragic accident in DC. Since today is the 1st day of #BlackHistoryMonth, it's time to lay this out. So, herewith a 🧵 on just what it took to integrate commercial aviation in the 1st place.

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students. This is how you refuse to comply.

Every day, this President tells us what kind of person he is. Today, it was in relation to aviation

An executive order does not erase who you are. You are not alone.

The ongoing genocide against trans people continues. We will not stand for it.

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order threatening to override families with transgender youth and shut down access to gender-affirming care for trans people under the age of 19 nationwide. This order will not take immediate effect, and we will not allow this policy to stand.

Protect your energy for the things that matter to you. It’s not going to be easy to do the work needed for the coming years, but it won’t be as hard if we stay in it together #abortion #transrights #reproductivejustice

1/ Cecile Richards, former Planned Parenthood president and reproductive rights advocate, passed away Monday at 67 after battling brain cancer. A sharp-witted, disciplined leader, she was a singular presence in Democratic organizing. rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/01/21/c...

In a widely expected outcome, federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ruled today that Idaho, Kansas, and Missouri can continue the legal challenge to the FDA’s approval of mifepristone, one of two drugs usually used in medication abortion. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Remember Brittany Watts, the Ohio woman arrested for 'abuse of a corpse' after flushing her miscarriage? A new lawsuit accuses a police officer and two nurses of conspiring to fabricate evidence against her jessica.substack.com/p/breaking-p...

So in order for Meta to make it so that people can see our content about abortion and gender-affirming care, they had to get rid of fact checkers and bake transphobia into their content policies? We see you. That’s a lovely knee bend you’re doing there.

After Roe v. Wade fell, President Biden directed the CDC to measure “the effect of access to reproductive healthcare on maternal health outcomes.” More than two years later, that hasn’t happened.
