National Nurses United, the largest union of registered nurses in the US, is demanding that hospitals cut ties with Palantir, citing the company’s role in immigrant surveillance and its alleged involvement in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Truthout reported.

The union, which represents more than 225,000 nurses across all 50 states, announced a global week of action against Palantir beginning 28 September.

NNU is calling on hospitals and other public institutions to end contracts and partnerships with the company and divest from it, accusing Palantir of developing technology used for mass surveillance and targeting civilians in Gaza.

The campaign follows demonstrations in eight US cities on 27 August. Nurses have accused Palantir of helping ICE identify and detain immigrants while also providing technology used by Israel.

“Palantir’s AI is enabling atrocities and human rights abuses,” NNU nurse Elizabeth Lalasz said, accusing the company of providing technology for “Israel’s US-funded genocide in Gaza.”
