Get Palantir Technologies Out of MaineHealth

Palantir Technologies is a U.S. military-tech company, co-founded by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp, that builds AI-powered tools for mass data collection and surveillance which is currently fueling ICE-led deportations, genocide, and war worldwide.

Palantir has zero track record in healthcare. Despite this, Palantir technology is deeply embedded in the MaineHealth medical system.

Corporations responsible for gross violations of human rights have no place in our healthcare system or our state. MaineHealth must drop Palantir!

We, the undersigned Maine residents, MaineHealth patients, healthcare workers, and concerned citizens believe that corporations masterminding gross violations of human rights and the rights of US citizens including genocide, mass surveillance, and unlawful deportation have no place in our state. Therefore, we demand that MaineHealth do the following:

1. Immediately cease use of all Palantir technologies and cancel its contracts with the company and any of its subsidiaries.
2. Immediately disclose exactly how Palantir technology was used, when its use began, and which processes were affected.
3. Notify all patients who had Palantir technologies used on them or their chart at any point in their healthcare interactions including billing, prior authorizations, and approvals of the extent to which their data was shared with Palantir.

Palantir has developed an app for U.S. immigration agents that mines American's health data and uses it to hunt people, in addition to multiple other Palantir tech applications that are integral to ICE's deportation machine. It also collaborates extensively with the Israeli military to support its operations in Gaza and its occupation of the West Bank to the point that the United Nations (UN) has listed them explicitly in a report they published compiling the US companies who have played the biggest role in facilitating Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.

By signing this petition, unless you opt out you agree to be added to the mailing list of the Maine Coalition for Peace And Human Rights. The Coalition will not waste your time with frivolous emails, and uses the list only for important actions in the pursuit of peace and human rights for all.
