We just found out Palantir has renewed its ICE contract thru 2022. 😡😡😡
Amounts redacted, but they'll make MILLIONS.
Workplace raids, family members arrested at the border, protests every week, worker concerns—& Palantir is doubling down?!
Shameful.

Palantir helped arrest at least *443* ppl in a 90-day period, we revealed this year, helping ICE nab family members of kids who crossed border alone, including families who tried to claim them.
That's apparently not enough for them to stop working w/ICE.

Hundreds of academics got Palantir dropped as a sponsor of a prestigious privacy conference at Cal. The academic community came together to say they will not be associated with an enabler of terror.
That's not enough for them to stop working w/ICE.

Documents showed Palantir was used extensively in workplace raids, which are up *650%* under Trump.
That's not enough for them to stop working w/ICE. wnyc.org/story/palantir…
Workers have been protesting & "begging" to cancel the contract since 2018 at least.
We've been flyering at HQ for wks, talking to some workers who say "thank you" & want the contract ended.
Execs haven't listened. Worker concern is not enough for them.

What will it take, Palantir? You've doubled down on helping a racist president separate families, arrest immigrants, & instill terror.
You are ignoring your workers, academics, immigrants, anyone who gives a damn.
History is going to judge you for this.

We're calling on everyone to RENEW their efforts against Palantir. We can still end this contract, the workers still have power, this is not over.
Everyone has to tell Palantir: Stop enabling state terror. Stop separating families. Stop aiding raids.
