DESCRIPTION:www.dobetter.tech\n\nWe are members of the tech, Stanford and Palo Alto 
 communities. Join us to protest technologists who stand to profit from a 
 Muslim database and mass deportations.\n\nWe will demonstrate in front of 
 the headquarters of Palantir Technologies, Inc. in Downtown Palo 
 Alto.\n\nPalantir, a Silicon Valley startup, contracts with a variety of 
 federal agencies, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Homeland 
 Security Investigations.\n\nWe are concerned that Palantir & Peter Thiel 
 stand to profit from the Trump administration for the use of two analytics 
 tools: AFI and FALCON. Neither Palantir nor Peter Thiel have issued any 
 public statements about how they will prevent abuse on these stwo systems. 
 \n\nAFI pulls data from a host of federal, state, and local law-enforcement 
 databases to create profiles of individuals, including personal details, 
 travel histories, and even social 
 relationships.\nhttp://fortune.com/2016/12/22/trump-thiel-palantir/\n\nFALCON 
 allows immigrations and customs enforcement to store, search, and analyze 
 troves of data that include family relationships, employment information, 
 immigration history, criminal records, and home and work 
 addresses.\nhttp://sfist.com/2016/12/13/peter_thiel_poised_to_profit_off_tr.php\n\nJoin 
 us!\n\nWe are designers, engineers, business operatives in tech, and 
 believe that technology is a force for good. We will not stand by idly 
 while our fellow technologists facilitate inhumane policies against people 
 based on their national origin, religion, gender, etc.\n\nMany of us signed 
 the neveragain.tech pledge, and view this demonstration as a follow-through 
 of that pledge. We seek to hold technology companies and technology leaders 
 accountable, particularly when they are directly collaborating with the 
 government and have a profit incentive to continue to do so.\n\nEven if you 
 can't physically be there on January 18, sign up at www.dobetter.tech so we 
 can be in touch about future events.\n\nWe are looking for volunteers who 
 can help with communications, outreach, design and organizing. If you're 
 interested, please email tech.dobetter@gmail.com\n
