Ulises’ family contacted their local rapid response hotline, and SCC RRN dispatchers activated two on-call emergency legal responders from Pangea Legal Services. Pangea Legal Services and its partners responded to the community need by building such a network from the ground up. When Pangea began our rapid response work, only a few team members participated; just four of the organization’s 20 members were leading rapid response. In New York, the Rapid Response Legal Collaborative and similar grassroots coalitions offer a 24-hour community-based response system. Vanessa Godinez (she/her) is co-director and communications lead at Pangea Legal Services.
