InReach Product Update (June 2022)

InReach App Change Log – June 2022

InReach App Front-End

• On June 24th, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. We have added a new Abortion Care Service type filter to our free App to help connect LGBTQ+ people in need with verified, affirming abortion care. We believe in reproductive justice for all women, men and nonbinary individuals who can become pregnant.
• Added Abortion Care category and subcategories to the “Service Type” dropdown menu for all countries (United States, Canada, Mexico):
  • Abortion Providers
  • Mail Order Services (*with icon and tooltip with embedded clickable link, clicking the link takes users to “https://safe2choose.org/safe-abortion/abortion-pills/”)
  • Lodging Assistance
  • Travel Assistance
  • Financial Assistance
  • Mental Health Support

• Added new Legal Service Type Subcategories for the United States to continue to make the free InReach App more inclusive and comprehensive for the diverse LGBTQ+ community:
  • Citizenship
  • Employment Authorization
  • Family Petitions
  • Residency
  • T Visa
  • U Visa

• Added clickable text to the “Verified Information” badge tooltip on direct service providers’ profile pages. Now when the tooltip is clicked, it brings users to our homesite’s “Vetting Process” page, which contains more information on InReach’s unique and rigorous verification process designed to maximize user safety and data accuracy.

• *Note on mobile devices: For elements with tooltips (as shown above) – users will be able to click on those elements to access the tooltip since there is no “hover” state for mobile devices
• Updates the services support language list display “Mandarin” instead of “Chinese”
• Includes clean-up/maintenance work related to our recent rebranding from AsylumConnect to InReach
