Surveillance is a public health issue!

TOMORROW: Thousands of nurses, patients, and community allies are mobilizing on Wednesday, September 30 in San Francisco to say, Surveillance tech has no place in our healthcare systems! Join CNA/NNOC/NNU and allies as we march to the ICE detention center and demanding that all public institutions, universities, pension funds, companies, hospitals, and other health care providers divest and end contracts and partnerships with Palantir!

Date: Wednesday, September 30th
Meeting Time: 1:45 PM
March Start Location: Beginning at Jessie Square – 760 Mission St. We will be marching to the ICE Detention Center at 630 Sansome St. – rally to follow.

This action is part of the People vs. Palantir: Global Week of Action, bringing together allies from across the world to peacefully disrupt business as usual with Palantir. Palantir is one of the world’s most dangerous A.I. surveillance companies, weaponizing large-scale data collection and mass surveillance to enable mass deportation, illegal wars, genocide, and threats to human rights globally. Meanwhile, nurses see hospital CEOs eager to contract with Palantir, handing over patient data and automating staffing with Palantir’s unaccountable tech profiteers—essentially bankrolling agencies like ICE while Medicaid funding is being slashed

Nurses and allies envision a healthy society based on care and compassion. Palantir has no place in our government institutions and no place in our hospitals. It is past time to abolish ICE and fund health care, not warfare.

You can help us create the critical public pressure we need to purge Palantir from our hospitals and put the emphasis back on patient care, not profit-driven tech partnerships. Sign up below for our march and rally on Wednesday, September 30.

📣 When public health acts together, we have power.

On September 24, HIP is joining public health and health care workers across the country for SOS for Health, a national Day of Action to defend the people’s health and demonstrate our collective power.

Across the country, public health practitioners and health care workers show up every day for the health and well-being of our communities. As we face continued authoritarian attacks on science and research, cuts to Medicaid, the ACA, and public health, and threats to immigrant communities, reproductive and LGBTQ+ health care, and more, this is a moment to come together and show what’s possible when we act collectively.

Join the national organizing webinar tomorrow, September 9, at 8pm ET / 5pm PT to learn more about the Day of Action and how you can participate: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hyChmdwmSOiGPFyu-b7rEQ

There are many ways to take action on September 24, whether you organize a rally or visibility event, gather with colleagues for ten minutes, or join an action happening in your community.

❗SURVEILLANCE IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE❗

In this era of escalating authoritarianism, we’re seeing mass tech surveillance used to raid, detain, and repress our communities as a significant threat to public health right now.

That’s why we’re calling on public health to join National Nurses United (NNU) for a day of action THIS THURSDAY, August 27 against Palantir — the Big Tech AI corporation fueling deadly ICE raids, mass detention and deportation, and the genocide in Palestine.

https://act.nnu.org/survey/palantir-out-day-of-action/

Why are health sector folks organizing, and why now?

Palantir, the company co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel infamous for providing the data infrastructure for ICE, has been quietly integrating its AI technologies into healthcare and hospital systems across the country.

The collection of sensitive patient records raises significant privacy and safety concerns, particularly for undocumented and immigrant communities, who may avoid care out of fear that clinical information could be used to deport them.

Nurses are leading coordinated rallies and actions in eight cities across the country, and asking community partners to join them in sending a clear message: Palantir out of our hospitals and out of our society – patients over Palantir!

Rallies will be Thursday, August 27th in the following locations, mostly at noon.

- Chicago, IL
- Los Angeles, CA
- Palo Alto, CA
- Washington, DC
- Asheville, NC
- Portland, ME
- Austin, TX
- New Orleans, LA

We’re asking our public health community to show up for immigrants, nurses, and patients, and the health of our broader communities. We need investments in care, not deportation, criminalization, imprisonment and surveillance!

Community power building is essential to effective public health practice, especially in rural communities, where relationships, trust, local leadership, and shared problem-solving are often central to how change happens.

HIP's Bridging Program Director Julian Drix, MPH will be exploring this topic alongside other leaders in the field next week for the de Beaumont Foundation's webinar:

🎯 “Community Power in Practice: Lessons for Rural Health”
📆 Monday, July 27 from 2:00 - 3:00 pm ET

Register to learn how public health practitioners can move beyond one-time engagement toward deeper, more durable partnerships!

As unbridled state violence, detention, deportation, and criminalization are continued and escalating, the work of building a world rooted in care instead of punishment has never been more urgent.

⛓️‍💥✨Today we're excited to announce that applications are officially open for the 9th cohort of HIP's Abolitionist Public Health Network. Because abolition is not an abstract idea, it's a public health imperative.

Since Spring 2022, HIP's Health Instead of Punishment program has been convening a growing network of public health students and workers across the US to build relationships across prison walls and strengthen our collective capacity to advance the abolition of the prison industrial complex as a public health strategy.

This semester, participants will be paired with incarcerated organizers to learn and discuss together, grounded in the book "All This Safety Is Killing Us: Health Justice Beyond Prisons, Police, and Borders," edited by Ronica Mukerjee and Carlos Martinez.

Because relationship-building is central to this cohort, we’ll be capping participation at 40 people. There will be a waitlist, so get your application in as soon as you can.

🤩 Last month, members of HIP's 2026 Power-building Partnerships for Health (PPH) cohort gathered in Seattle for a few days of connection, learning, strategy, and community. We're still buzzing with the inspiration, wisdom, creativity, and commitment that the partnerships brought into the space.

These gatherings remind us that building a healthier, more just future will always be collective work, and that relationships are at the core of all meaningful and lasting change.

💚 Deep gratitude to everyone who helped make the retreat possible, and to all who showed up fully, generously, and with care for one another.

Today, HIP is proud to launch our new Policy Platform for Public Health Action: Building the Conditions for Collective Health. It offers a clear set of policy priorities for advancing health, justice, and multiracial democracy together.

https://www.healthinpartnership.org/resources/hips-policy-platform-for-public-health-action-building-the-conditions-for-collective-health

As we approach the US’s 250th birthday, we’re reflecting on the aspirations of the democratic project in this country, which have never been realized: liberty, dignity, and self-determination for all.

Each generation has had to fight to bring us closer to those ideals, and each step forward has been met with reactionary backlash. Today, we are living through yet another of those moments. With authoritarianism on the rise, our public institutions being dismantled, and our communities increasingly divided and dehumanized, the conditions that shape our health are under attack.

Our Policy Platform is a vision for how public health can help block what harms and build what helps us thrive, grounded in the leadership of community power-building organizations and peoples’ movements.

At its core is the truth that our health is bound up with one another’s, and that a healthy future requires an engaged, inclusive multiracial democracy where communities have the power to shape the decisions and systems that affect their lives.

As we reflect on what multiracial democracy in the US can and should be this July 4, we invite you to explore the platform, and meditate on:

💭What would it mean to build systems rooted in care, dignity, and belonging?
💭What becomes possible when we organize together for collective health?
💭What does the American “promise” look like when everyone can thrive?

After over 100 years of operation, Phillips 66 has closed its oil refinery in Wilmington and Carson, CA. The site closure is an historic opportunity to reduce the amount of pollution in Carson, CA, which faces a legacy of pollution from multiple refineries and oil wells.

But when a refinery closes, the health concerns remain: toxins linger in the soil and water. Aggressive and proactive remediation is key for health.

The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board has an opportunity to develop a comprehensive remediation plan that centers the leadership of community members on the frontlines, holds Phillips 66 financially accountable, and ensures that the site is transformed into something beneficial for the community.

➡️ Take action today: Tell the LA Water Board to clean up the toxic Phillips 66 site! bit.ly/Make-P66-Clean-Up
