ReadyNow! App

In July 2025, Human Rights First’s Innovation Lab launched the ReadyNow! app, a free and secure mobile app designed to help immigrants prepare for possible detention and act quickly in moments of crisis. Features of the app include: one-click emergency alerts via SMS to pre-selected contacts; personalized emergency plans for childcare, medical needs, legal support, and more; option to share key information with National Immigration Legal Response Alliance (NILRA) if faced with arrest, a national network of pro bono immigration attorneys. It is currently available in six languages: English, Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Haitian Kreyol, and French. ReadyNow! is available now for free download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
