Story angles
1. The civic toolkit that fits in a WhatsApp message — how a small team built distribution as a first-class feature for a community where the fastest information channel is family group chats.
2. Verified by attorneys, in real time — how the version-bump-invalidates-attestation HMAC system gives families and journalists a chain of custody for emergency rights information.
3. Offline-first civic tech for the cheap-phone reality — how a bilingual PWA gives a $50 Android in rural Texas the same emergency rights guides as a $1200 iPhone in Manhattan.
4. AI-friendly civic information by design — how Tengo Derechos opts in to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity so families asking those tools get verified guidance instead of hallucinated answers.
