"A few dozen protesters disrupted the energy industry conference DTECH in San Diego on Tuesday, interrupting a morning panel and prompting its speakers — including a PG&E executive — to flee the stage.
The protesters called on PG&E to cancel its contract with the tech company Palantir, a data and artificial intelligence outfit that has become the focus of ire over the past year due to its extensive work with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The activist group Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment Action carried out the protest; ACCE campaign director Eric Lerner told SFGATE that they attempted to give a demands letter to Andrew Abranches, PG&E’s vice president of wildfire mitigation, but he left the room without taking it."
