Human Rights First’s Innovation Lab announced the launch of ReadyNow!, a free and secure mobile app designed to help immigrants prepare for possible detention and act quickly in moments of crisis.
“No one should disappear into detention without a trace,” said Perris Richter, Senior Director of the Innovation Lab at Human Rights First. ICE arrests are often sudden and disorienting, leaving people unable to notify loved ones, arrange child or pet care, or access legal help. ReadyNow! empowers users to create a personalized emergency plan and instantly notify trusted contacts with one click if they face imminent arrest. “This is not about politics. This is about safety and human dignity.”
