UC BERKELEY: SHOW PALANTIR THEY’RE NOT WELCOME HERE!
On September 24, the tech giant that powers ICE, Palantir Technologies, plans to visit UC Berkeley for a so-called “Ethics & Tech Panel” to recruit Berkeley tech students. Palantir is working hand-in-hand with ICE to build tools to surveil, detain, and deport migrants and keep kids locked in cages — and UC Berkeley’s EECS department has a $20,000 a year contract with the corporation, meaning this institution is directly complicit in ICE terror.
THE TIME TO STAND UP TO PALANTIR AND ICE IS NOW. Our tuition fuels deportations.
We’re demanding Berkeley cancel the info session:
https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/bears-against-ice-tell-eecs-to-cancel-info-session-with-palantir-the-tech-giant-behind-ices-deportation-machine
If they don’t, be ready to join us in protest outside the event on campus — MEETING TIME TO BE ANNOUNCED.
Palantir’s surveillance technology is “mission critical” to ICE’s operations, according to the agency itself, and the company relies on the labor of EECS, CS, and Data Science graduates to develop it. These tools explicitly enable ICE to detain and deport immigrants with ruthless efficiency.
This year, Palantir technology was used to arrest at least 443 mothers, fathers, and other family members and sponsors when ICE investigated children who crossed the border alone. Palantir was shown to be intimately involved in the workplace raid this month that arrested almost 700 people in Mississippi, the largest such raid in a decade. These raids have increased by 650% under President Trump, targeting thousands annually for arrest and deportation. Without the Palantir technology that enables ICE to live track families, these numbers would be far lower. The company has faced outcry this year, calling for it to stop facilitating the ICE deportation machine.
Cal’s engineering and data science curricula parade “ethics” as a required component of our education. Collaborating with Palantir not only abandons our university’s commitment as a so-called sanctuary campus to protect our undocumented students, but directly contradicts its own curriculum. Members of our community study long and hard with the eventual goal of using these skills to improve society through technology’s potential. Palantir is attempting to recruit us to do the opposite.
Fellow students: don’t be complicit! REFUSE to work with Palantir or attend the info session. Join hundreds of tech workers saying #TechWontBuildIt, pledging they will not build tools for immigration enforcement:

DEMAND the event is cancelled:
https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/bears-against-ice-tell-eecs-to-cancel-info-session-with-palantir-the-tech-giant-behind-ices-deportation-machine
If it isn’t, STAND WITH US on the 24th! We are calling on all those who denounce ICE’s reign of terror to join in action. More details to come!
Join hundreds of tenants/renters…

[Event] Strike for Climate Justice! San Francisco Direct Action, Sept 25https://t.co/pugqreLTna
— Indybay (@Indybay) August 28, 2019
Strike for Climate Justice!
This September, millions of people will take collective action to demand climate justice.
Join us in San Francisco for a mass non-violent direct action to confront the corporations and governments responsible for this crisis.
DISRUPT: THE CLIMATE WRECKERS IN THEIR CORPORATE SUITES: We have identified and will take nonviolent direct action to disrupt key locations of climate of corporations, financial institutions and government offices along or near Montgomery St.We’re asking affinity groups to take nonviolent direct action and disrupt these locations.
CREATE: SOLUTIONS IN THE STREETS: We will paint 20 circular street murals of solutions to climate chaos and injustice along Montgomery St., together with music and popular education about solutions, transforming “Wall St West” (Montgomery St) into a positive vision of solutions. There is a Bay Area tradition of large scale community street murals for climate justice, culminating last Sept in 50 street murals of solutions in the streets around SF Civic Center.
We are asking affinity groups–and mural teams from our communities–to commit to one mural. Music and education is also encouraged along the streets.
SUSTAIN: We will not just show up for an hour or two, but like other catalytic climate justice actions around the world. We will sustain our action for the full workday, beginning at 7am and continuing to 5pm.
Everyone is welcome to join.
Read the full Call to Action here.
Initiated by Idle No More SF Bay, Extinction Rebellion SF Bay, Diablo Rising Tide, 1000 Grandmothers for Future Generations, and the Society of Fearless Grandmothers

We are declaring that WE LOVE THE AMAZON! We love her and we envision a world and future where love and respect are given to all living beings and the Amazon flourishes with all the incredible variety of life there is within her.
Look for the big trees and you’ll know you’re in the Amazon! In front of 300 Montgomery Street in SF there will be a mini Amazon. We will be painting a mural and an Amazon River to create our vision of the future for the Amazon.
We will be listening to the sounds of the Amazon, screaming (literally) all we have inside of us out to allow for healing and hope to flow, building an altar for offerings people have been bringing (you are all invited to bring whatever offerings you’d like, like flowers!), playing music, dancing and in general lifting up the glory and vibrancy that we know is the true Amazon. An Amazon and world free of destruction, extraction where the earth is abused, and where all humans live freely and safely.
We would like to invite you to come dressed or painted or whatever as your favorite Amazon animal or tree. Be creative!! We’re excited to see what we see. (Please note: do not dress up as an indigenous person.)
Join us for our monthly general body meetings to learn more about us, pressing topics/issues in East Oakland and how you can take action!
“The earth is not dying, it is being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses,” Utah Phillps.
Join youth and allies on September 27th to protest Chevron, one of the world’s biggest polluters headquartered here in the Bay Area. Chevron knowingly pollutes the Richmond area, the Central Valley, the earth, and many other communities. Chevron is one of the top climate polluters in history – one of four fossil fuel companies that are the highest emitters of carbon since 1988 and one of the top 100 companies that are responsible for 71% of all global emissions. We will be demanding that Chevron gets off of fossil fuels by 2025 and that they stop using their influence to harm frontline communities and our future. We also demand that Governor Newsom hold Chevron accountable.
Meet at the entrance of Chevron’s global headquarters for a vibrant, powerful action, demanding that Chevron’s CEO speak to the youth whose future is jeopardized because of Chevron’ drive for profit at the expense of our air, water and climate.

Stand in solidarity with the overwhelming majority of Haitians, whose
continued resistance to an illegitimate, US-backed regime has given rise
to years of sustained protest against stolen elections, government
corruption, poverty, land grabs, rising prices, and 15 years of UN/US
military occupation. These are the conditions that drive people to leave
Haiti and immigrate elsewhere seeking a means to survive. $4.2 BILLION
has been stolen from government revenues. The international media has
either ignored this struggle or reported in a way that blames the
demonstrators for “violence.”
As resistance to this regime intensifies, so does repression. Police and
paramilitary forces have responded with bullets, teargas, imprisonment
and increasingly, massacres, aimed at wiping out Haiti’s grassroots
_Lavalas_ movement. Over several nights in November, 2018
state-sponsored armed forces tortured, and/or murdered several hundred
people, raped women in front of their families and burned homes in
Lasalin, a neighborhood of Port-au-Prince with a history of resistance.
The U.S. arms, funds and trains Haiti’s military and police, and only
with U.S. support can this corrupt regime remain in power. The people of
Haiti deserve to live without the daily threat of state-directed
violence. It is time for the U.S. to be held accountable for its
continued support of the repressive regime now in power in Haiti.

Agenda Highlights:

Increasing Diversity In the Single Payer Movement
By Jonee Grassi
As has been evident for many years, the movement for obtaining universal, single payer health care has lacked ethnic diversity. The documentary “The Power to Heal” presents an opportunity to collaborate with communities of color to discuss the history of achieving health care justice in our country and how to continue the process. Recently, the Health Care for All � CA, Contra Costa and Alameda County Chapters, co-sponsored a showing of this film in El Cerrito. The co-sponsors included the NAACP, El Cerrito Branch and John Gioia, District One Supervisor, Contra Costa County Supervisors. This collaboration resulted in one of the most diverse audiences and panels that we have had ever. We will review in this article how the event was planned and executed.
First, nothing is more important than having personal contacts with the organizations or people with whom you are trying to collaborate. It is our good fortune in the Contra Costa County Chapter of Health Care for All – California (HCA) that HCA member Betty Brown has been a member of the NAACP, in addition to many other organizations, for a long time. Betty was able to secure the co-sponsorship of the local NAACP. She also worked with the NAACP president, Cora Ward, to assist in securing one of the panelists, Myrtle Braxton, for the Q & A session following the film. Ms. Braxton is a well-respected member of the community and holds several important positions such as Chair of the Richmond Commission on Aging, Vice President of California Alliance of Retired Americans (CARA), and a Chair at Easter Hill United Methodist Church. Once this co-sponsorship was in play, the members of the NAACP assisted in advertising the event throughout the African-American community through the churches, newspapers such as The Post in Richmond and Oakland, the Bay Area Black Nurses Association, word of mouth, etc. Betty also attends Concilio Latino meetings and helped advertise this in the Latino community.
Free use of the Rialto Cinemas Cerrito was obtained by HCA�s Nel Benningshof through her prior community work and connection with Supervisor John Gioia and El Cerrito Mayor, Rochelle Pardue-Okimoto. John Gioia agreed to be a co-sponsor and that gave us the advantage of his office�s ability to spread the word about the event. Rochelle Pardue-Okimoto is not only the current mayor of El Cerrito, she�s a nurse with a long history of supporting single payer health care. She, too, was able to use her contacts to advertise the event. We invited her to introduce the film and be a panelist. Through Physicians for a National Health Plan (PNHP), we were able to secure Dr. Alireza Rezapour, an internist, for the panel.
We created the flyer for the event and included the logos of all the co-sponsors. The entire HCA team from both counties divided the duties of delivering hard copies of the flyers to local libraries, City Halls, meetings of the El Cerrito Democratic Club, CARA, etc. Electronic versions were disbursed widely by members to their personal contacts, on NextDoor, Facebook, and social media of all types. The event was also listed on the HCA Facebook page on the HCA Contra Costa County Chapter website page. To keep track of the number of attendees, a Brown Paper Tickets event was established online and was monitored by HCA. Two weeks before the event, the number was only 18 attendees! HCA and the co-sponsors did a massive push in the last two weeks by phone, email, newspapers, and social media resulting over 75 attendees.
On the day of the event, we set up tables in front of the theater to take the �reservations�, distribute information by HCA and the NAACP, and provide membership forms for either organization. We used the HCA �insurance cards� describing single payer health care as the tickets. Once inside the theater, the audience members were given index cards and pens to write questions following the movie. The panelists were given time to describe their reactions to the film before taking questions from the audience. Following the Q & A period, we stayed at the theater to talk with anyone who was interested in showing the film to other organizations. The feedback on the film and the panel was overwhelmingly positive. We have several new leads for film events to homes, organizations, and possibly the local high schools and junior college. It has also lead to a closer working relationship with our local NAACP.
Our panelists from left to right Dr. Alireza Rezapour, El Cerrito Mayor, Rochelle Pardue-Okimoto, Ms. Myrtle Braxton.
