Seattle - Defund Palantir Protest
Start: Saturday, August 23, 2025•12:00 PM
End: Saturday, August 23, 2025•01:30 PM
Join us as we demand to Defund Palantir, a private corporation, started by Peter Thiel on August 23!
Why?
By 2010, Palantir had become a favorite among U.S. government agencies involved in counterterrorism and fraud detection. They expanded into commercial markets in the mid-2010s, offering big data tools for finance, healthcare, and manufacturing.
Controversial contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) drew scrutiny starting in 2017, especially regarding deportation tracking systems.
Most recently the Army bundled $10 billion in contracts with them for 10 years and now Peter Thiel has decided to get back involved in politics.
As a private corporation, billions of our tax payer dollars are going to fund:
Surveillance & Civil Liberties Violations - Including ICE
Militarization of Artificial Intelligence
Collaboration with Foreign Governments - Including Israeli targeting of civilians
Corporate Secrecy & Lack of Accountability
Government Influence & No-Bid Contracts
Use in Public Health Without Consent
Policing & Predictive Analytics
Worker Surveillance & Anti-Labor Use
Date: Saturday, August 23
Time: 12 noon - 1:30 PM PT
Location:400 Fairview N, Seattle, WA 98109
Note: We beleive in non-violence. This is a peaceful protest.
