If all goes as planned, sometime this weekend Palantir, the data-mining unicorn startup expected to go public later this year at a valuation of as much as $41 billion, will be the target of a novel digital protest designed to incite Palantir’s engineers to rise up against their bosses.

Hatched by a group called the Tech Workers Coalition, the plan calls for organized waves of digital protesters to post a prepared message to Palantir’s GitHub boards, normally used to flag and fix software bugs. Instead of tech glitches, these messages aim to tackle a bigger problem: allegations that Palantir’s software has been used to aid in the deportation families of migrant children at the Mexican border by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The call is for the protest to start at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 11.
