Purge Palantir San Diego: People Over Billionaires Rally

On Friday, August 22, 2025, San Diego community members will gather at the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building to protest Palantir's role in escalating ICE kidnappings and family separations. This action is part of a coordinated national day of action demanding "People Over Billionaires."

The Crisis: ICE raids have intensified in San Diego, including the shocking arrest last Thursday of a father waiting to pick up his child from Linda Vista Elementary School. These raids are powered by surveillance technology from Palantir, the company co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel.

The Connection: Palantir has been contracted by the Trump administration to build the technological infrastructure that "turbocharges" ICE operations, turning deportations into a profit center for Silicon Valley billionaires. The same company is also named in UN reports for profiting from genocide in Palestine.

Our Demand: Stop enriching surveillance profiteers with taxpayer dollars. End the ICE raids. Invest in communities, not deportation technology. We demand a future where technology serves working people, not billionaire surveillance capitalists.

Event Details:

• Date: Friday, August 22, 2025

• Time: 10:30AM

• Location: Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building, 880 Front Street, San Diego, CA 92101

• Visuals: "People Over Billionaires," "Thiel Gets Rich, We Get Watched," "Palantir is Watching You"

This San Diego action joins coordinated rallies across the country as communities unite to challenge the billionaires-first agenda and demand an economy that works for everyone.
