Palantir’s complacency with Trump’s extreme political agenda increases the risk of misuse, & increases Trump’s ability to advance his agenda through surveillance + policing.

The public has a right to know who polices them.

The current lack of transparency from DHS and ICE allows anyone to claim they’re a federal agent, leaving communities living in fear.

πŸ‘ΊMasks eliminate accountability.

Did you know that a wage of $7.52 per hour for an adult working full-time in California would be considered a poverty wage? πŸ‘€

Many minimum wage workers in the U.S. make LESS than that due to the federal minimum wage being $7.25, which has not increased since 2009β€”that was 16 years ago!

Masked federal agents are patrolling our communities with no accountability.

We're co-sponsoring California's No Secret Police Act to ban all law enforcement officers from covering their faces.

Add your name to tell your elected leaders: #NoSecretPolice in our neighborhoods.

β€œDo not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble” - Congressman John Lewis

‼️ Rep. David Valadao (CD-22) serves a district of over 75% Latinos + CA Rep. Young Kim (CD-40) serves a 24% Latino/Hispanic community in her district.

Along with these other Republican Congressmembers, they passed the bill anyway, KNOWING how this would harm their communities and others.
