Palantir is one of the most powerful—and least understood—technology companies shaping how our communities are monitored, policed, and targeted today. Its tools are deeply embedded in law enforcement and immigration enforcement systems, helping state agencies track, surveil, and criminalize immigrant workers and families.

In this Solidarity Learning Hour, we’ll break down who Palantir is and how its technology operates in clear, accessible language. We’ll connect the dots between corporate data power and what’s happening on the ground—from workplace raids to deportation pipelines—and examine why this matters so urgently in this moment.

Most importantly, this session will focus on collective resistance. Together, we’ll explore concrete ways communities are organizing to push back, protect one another, and disrupt systems of surveillance and harm. Whether you’re new to this issue or already organizing, you’ll leave with a stronger understanding of the role corporations play in immigrant targeting—and how we can build power to challenge it
