The network is made up of some 350 volunteers - airplane pilots, staff on the ground and people from organizations that provide related support. Here's more.
June 24, 2023 at 12:34 AMThe day Kim learned that the Supreme Court had struck down Roe v. Wade and, with it, America’s constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy, she knew she had to do something, she said. On June 24, 2022, she searched online for organizations helping those who were about to lose access to abortion in their states, and she found Elevated Access.
The network is made up of some 350 volunteers - airplane pilots, staff on the ground and people from organizations that provide related support. For safety reasons, it doesn’t give out the staff's full names and they don’t give exact figures on how many people they have transported or where they've flown, Fiona said.
For their own protection, pilots know as little information as possible about the people they are transporting.“There’s no ticketing or TSA or anything like that. If somebody feels like they need to use a fake first name, they can definitely do that," said the founder, who goes by Mike, in the interview.
“This is my community, these are my people,” the pilot said. “And I never expected that I would have such a direct role in helping them.” About 46% of Latinas of childbearing age — more than 5 million Latinas — live in states that restrict reproductive rights, according to UCLA sociologist Josefina Flores Morales, the study's lead author.Access to an abortion can be more difficult for people who don't have a legal immigration status, don't speak English or are victims of domestic violence or abuse.
In another case, Elevated Access helped a woman who was escaping an abusive situation. When someone from a sister organization went to help her pack up and leave her house, she noticed the woman brought a portable cooler that seemed to be moving.
