# Jacinta González Counterweight-side organizer specializing in tech accountability, immigration enforcement, and surveillance opposition. Currently **Head of Programs at [[MediaJustice]]**, a national communications and strategy organization focused on tech accountability and racial justice. Prior to MediaJustice, González served as Policy / Field Director at [[Mijente]], the Latinx organizing network, where she built and ran the [[No Tech for ICE]] campaign — the precursor to today's [[Purge Palantir]] coalition. ## No Tech for ICE (2018–2020) At Mijente, González organized the No Tech for ICE campaign, which targeted Palantir's relationships with [[U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement]]. The campaign's signature tactic was disrupting Palantir's on-campus recruiting at U.S. universities — pressuring computer science programs, career services offices, and student organizations to refuse hosting Palantir recruiters. The campaign materially constrained Palantir's engineering hiring pipeline from elite universities and established the template of institutional-pressure-as-leverage that Purge Palantir now applies to hospitals, pension funds, and state contracts. González also led research and public-facing documentation of [[Palantir ICE Systems]] — FALCON, ICM, and later ImmigrationOS — making the technical architecture of deportation surveillance legible to non-technical organizers and journalists. ## Purge Palantir (2025–present) As a lead organizer of the [[Purge Palantir]] coalition, González works alongside [[João Paulo Connolly]] and partners at the [[American Friends Service Committee]] to expand divestment and boycott organizing against Palantir's civilian anchor customers. Her work is prominently featured in the April 2026 [[Gil Durán]] interview in *[The Nerd Reich](https://www.thenerdreich.com/how-to-purge-palantir/)*. Her framing of the current moment, per reporting: > [!quote] "[Palantir has] unmasked the true nature of their politics and vision of government, of what their company should be doing... accountability around how they're using money to be able to manipulate the political environment and also policy." > — Jacinta González, on Palantir ## Strategic Approach González's organizing is notable for treating surveillance technology not as a single-issue tech problem but as the **infrastructure layer underneath** immigration enforcement, labor discipline, and authoritarian governance. That frame is what allows Purge Palantir to build a coalition spanning immigrant rights groups, nurses' unions, Palestine solidarity organizations, and pension-fund divestment activists under one banner. ## See Also - [[Mijente]] - [[MediaJustice]] - [[Purge Palantir]] - [[No Tech for ICE]] - [[Palantir]] - [[Palantir ICE Systems]] - [[João Paulo Connolly]] - [[Gil Durán]]
