Inspiration

We wanted to create a multi-functional mobile app that empowers people, especially those of targeted demographics, to stand up against police brutality and injustice.

What it does

Informs users on their rights based on their individual situations
Provides a guideline on the pieces of information that should be collected in a police encounter
Sends an auto-generated text message with location data to an emergency contact in the case of an arrest
Guides the user to create a police complaint letter through an auto-generated template

How I built it

Firebase and Flutter

Challenges I ran into

Delegating tasks in a team
Working with different environments and getting all of our apps to sync
Developing features that are practical and usable to people facing police brutality
Trying to understand the challenges that other POC encounter
Marketing our app and the best way to present our ideas

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Learning mobile development on Flutter
Learning about how to create a marketing pitch

What I learned

The reality of racial injustice
Individual rights
Different situations in which police aggression and injustice may occur
