Third Anniversary - For the last three years, we've worked towards a more justice society by flying people to overcome barriers to access abortion and gender-affirming care.

By the Numbers 2300 passengers 100 partner organizations 400 vetted pilots 1,240,000 miles flown

You make it possible. You can support our reproductive justice work by donating, volunteering, and spreading the word to build our community. We make it through this time by joining together to lift each other up.

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.

Jails and prisons are designed to separate, traumatize, and harm families. It's why confronting the criminal punishment and immigration system is required for repro justice.

No one deserves to be caged and denied the ability to see the people they love and care for.

Image with the question: How do Edge grants support grassroots organisations? And the testimony of Communities for Holistic, Accessible, Rights Based Mental Health - CHARM (Manchester, UK) reading: ’We used the funds to support our campaigning work and to pay for meeting spaces, a zoom account that has enabled us to hold our monthly CHARM society meetings, and support and planning groups. These are our engine rooms generating the actions and projects we have been running’. ‘We have been running a campaign in support of the patients at Edenfield Secure Psychiatric hospital who experienced horrific human rights abuses. We called for an independent inquiry and got widespread media coverage’ ‘We followed up with a presentation by people with lived experience to the Health Scrutiny Committee on the crisis in mental health services and we wrote our own response to the independent review finding, entitled Share Power to End the Abuse of Power’. Read more about CHARM’s work here https://charmmentalhealth.org/

This May edition goes over the latest executive orders that “unleash” the violence of policing, as well as the ongoing disappearings and detentions, and the criminalization journalists, trans youth, abortion, and more. As always, we include calls to action and relevant resources that we find useful⬇️

Join us next week as we chat with organizers India who are challenging criminalization and advancing TJ practices while operating at the intersections of religion, gender, and class—and to discuss how we can continue to learn from each other and deepen solidarity across contexts and geographies.

What does it mean to "organize the rich"?

As billionaires & authoritarians consolidate power, people with wealth & class privilege are being forced to choose: protect the status quo, or join movements for justice. See @rajasvini.bsky.social's explanation of what it means to organize the rich--
