TODAY: Patients, NHS workers and campaigners are taking action against US spy-tech company Palantir at over 40 locations across England. We're calling on every NHS trust and ICB to reject Palantir, and on the government to use the break clause and end the contract.

WE SAY NO TO PALANTIR 🙅‍♂️ We and 120+ organisations and unions across Europe are calling on our governments and the European Commission to scrap all existing public sector contracts with Palantir. Read the open letter here: www.globaljustice.org.uk/wp-content/u...

"The action highlighted Palantir’s agreement with Israel & its role as lead supplier of the NHS' Data Platform. @amnestyuk.bsky.social considers that relationship incompatible with the values of the NHS, given Amnesty's findings that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza."
