How can we stop Palantir?
"#AFSC has joined a collective of #ImmigrantRights groups, #PalestineSolidarity organizations, #EnvironmentalJustice advocates, #LaborUnions, and many others working to hold Palantir accountable and stop its expansion into our lives. You can join us by finding or organizing a local group to pressure our universities, hospitals, and other institutions to cut all ties to Palantir.
"Visit our #PurgePalantir campaign page to:
- Contact the leadership of hospitals, universities, and other corporations using Palantir to urge them to #divest from the company.
- Find a map of Palantir offices, some of its corporate clients, and elected officials who have received money from Palantir. Use it to find where the company is in your community and plan an action to challenge it.
- Are you a health care worker? You can join organized nurses and doctors across the U.S. pushing the surveillance company out of our hospitals [and the #NHS in the #UK]."Learn more about the company and join the growing campaign to stand up to Palantir."
