They have redesigned the website for safe browsing, made it generic looking and put a “quick exit” bar at the top that immediately changes the display to the Weather Channel. It’s still the same volunteer organization flying people out to other states to get gender care, abortions, birth control, etc.

It's crazy to think that a perfectly normal website, devoted to healthcare access, needs a "Quick Exit" button, as if it's porn or some flash game website from the the 2000s. I understand why it's necessary, but it's just sad.

Of course, the more depressing fact is that this site and service exists at all, especially in the US. The supposed Land of the Free.

I'm glad this and services like the "Auntie Network" exist, but they shouldn't have to.

It is very common, 2 resources with similar quick exit features that come to mind are The Trevor Project and Rainbow Passage.

If we are assembling a list of resources, can we include these two? As well as Rainbow Railroad, which sounds similar to Rainbow Passage but working internationally. https://www.rainbowrailroad.org/
