We appeal to faith leaders and advocates of justice to join in urging Palantir to prioritize ethical responsibility over mere technological advancement. Sign this petition to push for transparency, accountability, and humane use of technology that respects human rights and upholds personal privacy.

We are deeply concerned about the extensive reach and capabilities of Palantir's technology and its implications for personal privacy and human rights. Palantir has developed advanced software for analyzing vast amounts of data, which can be used to track individuals across numerous data points. Palantir's software allows authorities to watch people with unprecedented precision, raising significant ethical and human rights concerns. 

We would love to count on your support, as a prominent faith leader who stands up for justice, to sign a letter of support urging Palantir to assess, disclose, and address the human rights impacts associated with its products and services - particularly as they are being used in the immigration crackdown. Palantir is the company whose technology is the backbone of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) surveillance that tracks and targets migrants for detention and deportation and revokes people's immigration status. A broad swath of actors including human rights groups, privacy watchdogs, members of Congress, right-wing media personalities, and the company’s own employees have called out concerns about the use of the company’s technology and harm to people.

In December 2025, the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace filed a shareholder proposal asking Palantir to publish a Human Rights Impact Assessment. A shareholder proposal is a formal request to the board of directors to take action on a specific issue raised by a shareholder in the company. Shareholder proposals can create a powerful public platform for challenging and improving corporate policies, practices, performance, and impacts.  The proposal raises concerns about the company’s role in powering ICE surveillance systems and enabling large-scale data tracking that may contribute to detention, deportation, and other potential human rights violations. It also expresses concern over the use of Palantir's technology to analyze massive amounts of personal data, enabling individuals to be tracked on numerous data points and authorities to monitor people with unprecedented precision.    

More than 150 faith leaders and religious organizations representing various communities, including Catholic, Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Interfaith, and Buddhist, have signed on to this letter urging Palantir to assess and address the human rights impacts of its technology.

The letter is open to ongoing signatures. Please circulate the letter within your networks.
