A Growing Coalition: What These Numbers Really Mean
Movements don’t begin with headlines.
They begin with people.
Over the past months, Pilots for HIMS Reform has been steadily — and intentionally — growing across multiple platforms. While none of these numbers are meant to impress on their own, together they tell a much more important story:
This issue resonates — and people are paying attention.
One Community, Nearly 900 Strong
When viewed together, these numbers form a clearer picture.
Across public social platforms, private discussion spaces, and direct email subscriptions, Pilots for HIMS Reform now connects with nearly 900 individuals across platforms.
- Public followers who track updates and developments
- Private group members engaging in protected discussion
- Email subscribers who receive information directly, outside algorithmic control
There is natural overlap between platforms, and we make no claim that this represents 900 unique individuals. What it does represent is nearly 900 active connection points — people who have chosen, in one way or another, to stay informed and engaged.
Platform-by-Platform Snapshot
Facebook: 167 Followers
Our public Facebook page now includes 167 followers — individuals who have opted in to receive updates on an issue many still hesitate to discuss openly. Organic growth in a space like this signals quiet interest, not casual scrolling.
Private Facebook Group: 90 Members
Our private Facebook group has grown to 90 members. These are not passive observers. These are pilots, aviation professionals, family members, and allies participating in a space built around discretion, trust, and lived experience.
Private communities grow slowly by design. Trust comes first.
X: 230 Followers
On X, we’ve reached 230 followers, making it our largest single social platform by reach. This audience includes aviation professionals, policy-minded observers, journalists, and accountability advocates — people who understand systems and follow how they operate.
Truth Social: 50 Followers
On Truth Social, we currently have 50 followers. While smaller in size, this presence reflects something intentional: reform conversations should not exist in only one ideological or political lane. Accountability matters everywhere.
Subscription List: 233 Subscribers
Our email subscription list now stands at 233 subscribers, one of the strongest indicators of sustained engagement. Subscribing is a deliberate action — it bypasses algorithms and signals a desire for direct, unfiltered updates.
Email lists are where movements stop being casual and start becoming durable.
Why We’re Sharing This — and Why We’re Being Careful
We’re not publishing these figures to boast or inflate. We’re sharing them for transparency — and to acknowledge a reality that continues to surface in private conversations:
That pattern is consistent with communities shaped by professional risk, regulatory pressure, and fear of retaliation. It explains why private spaces grow differently than public ones — and why engagement often begins quietly.
This is not a viral moment.
It’s something more meaningful.
What Comes Next
Growth for Pilots for HIMS Reform is not about speed. It’s about credibility, safety, and accuracy.
As our research deepens, our data matures, and our advocacy efforts expand, these numbers will change. What matters most is that the foundation is real — and that it’s growing the right way.

Support the Work
We’re currently receiving little to no donations, and we have major goals to accomplish this year. This work cannot continue on the donations or financial sacrifices of leadership alone — it’s simply not sustainable.
Donations help fund research, outreach, technical infrastructure, legal review, and the ability to represent this cause at seminars, conferences, and conventions where these issues must be discussed directly.
Even small, recurring contributions help ensure this effort can continue with the strength and consistency it requires.
