What is Amidad? Amidad is made up of two components; a resource app with easy access to immigrant-related tools and information, and an Alert Device to be used in emergencies. The app has an easily navigable interface with important information. Members sign up and only disclose their names and pronouns to keep both immigrant members and volunteers safe.

Immigration hot-lines, local lawyers, forums, and updated, relevant news feeds are available in the app.

The forum is public, anonymous, and moderated to allow app users to spread the necessary information. The moderation focuses on implementing our policy to protect identities and our disclaimer agreement not to spread information that should be provided by a certified lawyer or relevant scholar.

The critical app features that tie into the Alert Device relate specifically to situations involving ICE, such as raids or warrant less violations at a person’s home. Once activated, the alert device sends a text message to designated lawyers, family, friends, and local volunteers to come to observe and record the interaction.
