Your Rights is designed to be accessible, practical, and inclusive. Key features include:
"We created 'Your Rights' to provide a lifeline for individuals facing potential immigration enforcement actions. It's not just an app; it's a tool for empowerment, knowledge, and safety," said David Simon, a retired attorney and political activist.
Simon, who created a similar "Know Your Rights" app for the ACLU more than a decade ago, saw an urgent need for updated materials specifically for immigrants facing the upcoming immigration sweeps. Leveraging the power of AI, Simon developed Your Rights as a vital resource to address this critical gap.
The app offers actionable guidance on how to respond during encounters with immigration officers, emphasizing the rights of individuals to remain silent, refuse entry to their homes without a warrant, and seek legal representation. By making this information readily available, Your Rights aims to reduce fear and confusion while fostering informed decision-making.
The app's launch is especially critical as the Trump administration is poised to implement Project 2025, a comprehensive deportation plan targeting millions of undocumented immigrants across the U.S. With enforcement actions expected to ramp up, Your Rights serves as a vital resource for immigrant communities and their allies.
How to Access: The app is free and available now at https://your-rights.org. No downloads are required, and it is accessible on any smartphone, tablet, or computer. Users are encouraged to place a link or icon to the app on their phone's home screen for quick access in urgent situations.
Call to Action: Immigration-rights advocates, legal professionals, and community organizations are encouraged to share this resource widely to ensure it reaches those who need it most. For partnerships, press inquiries, or additional information, please contact:
