Local unions are meeting at Cascade Playground in South Lake Union in Seattle Monday to both celebrate the Labor Movement and sound the alarm about Palantir Technologies.
The unions argue that the software company, which specializes in AI data analytics, poses one of the most significant threats to democracy.
The unions said the company helps fund ICE raids, foreign wars, and mass surveillance.
Today’s rally and celebration take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., held by Workers Over Billionaires.
