We've spent years campaigning to get Palantir out of the #NHS. Now ministers are exploring triggering the break clause in its contract. Palantir is a spytech company with no place handling our health data. Use the break clause - share if you agree! ft.com/content/2d2b1af1-edeaā€¦

At @Amnesty, we stand with @Medact and partners in exposing why @PalantirTech is an unacceptable partner for @NHSEngland. The company has a long record of serious human rights concerns, from its role in abuses against migrants in the #USA to supplying AI technologies to the Israeli military and intelligence services implicated in #Israelā€™s ongoing genocide in Gaza. We call on NHS England, the UK government, and all public institutions to use their leverage: āž”ļø Responsibly divest from Palantir āž”ļø Stop purchasing its products and services These measures must stay in place until Palantir proves it is not contributing to genocide, apartheid, unlawful occupation, or other violations of international law.

We were in front of the Palantir offices in London this morning where NHS senior leaders were meeting the company that has no place in our health service! "Workers, students, patients say: Palantir cannot stay."

We endorse this because safe, secure, and genuinely affordable housing is fundamental to health justice. If we are serious about reducing health inequalities and advancing health justice, we must get serious about housing. Brick by brick, home by home, so our health can thrive!

Sky-high rents are forcing people out of their homes and destroying our health. Another housing system is possible - but we need to stand together and fight for it. Join us in central London on 18 April to demand rent controls and social housing now.
