Elevated Access @elevatedaccess.bsky.social · Apr 18

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.

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.

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.

New — Mahmoud Khalil's legal team says ICE & private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to let him have a contact visit with his wife & newborn baby.

They traveled over 1500 miles — hoping Mahmoud could see and hold them for the first time since his arrest over 10 weeks ago.

ICE Refuses to Allow Mahmoud Khalil to Hold His Newborn Son
Mr. Khalil's legal team filed a letter requesting the federal court overseeing Mr. Khalil's case order ICE to permit a family contact visit
**There will be also be a virtual press briefing tonight at 5:30 pm ET (register here)**
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 21, 2025
CONTACT: ACLU Media, media@aclu.org
Center for Constitutional Rights, press@ccrjustice.org
JENA, LA - In a decision that underscores the government's ongoing retaliation against Mahmoud Khalil in response to his advocacy in support of Palestinian rights, officials from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and private prison contractor GEO Group have refused to allow a contact visit between him and his family. The officials cite a blanket no-contact visitation policy at the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center (CLIPC) and unspecified "security concerns" relating to the presence of a mother and newborn baby in an unsecure part of the facility.
ICE's refusal comes after multiple requests from Mr. Khalil's legal team that point to federal policies explicitly encouraging contact visits between detained parents and their

children. Mr. Khalil's team has also noted that permission for family visits like these are routinely granted at facilities like the Elizabeth Detention Center in New Jersey, where his attorneys have requested he be transferred.
Mr. Khalil's wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, traveled over 1400 miles from New York to the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center (CLIPC) in Jena, Louisiana, bringing their newborn child in the hopes of a contact visit - one where her husband could meet, touch, and hold his son for the very first time. Instead, facility administrators have repeatedly denied these requests and have insisted the visit proceed behind glass, where no human touch is possible.
"I am furious at the cruelty and inhumanity of this system that dares to call itself just," said Dr. Noor Abdalla. "After flying o…

Edge Fund 🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️📢 @edgefund.bsky.social · Apr 29

📢 Wondering how an Edge Fund grant can support grassroots organisations? 🌱🌱Read it directly from Communities for Holistic, Affordable, Rights Based Mental Health (Manchester). Thanks to CHARM for the testimony!

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’.
