LexisNexis's current contract with Trump's anti-immigrant paramilitaries expires in March.

The ICE contract makes a tiny fraction of LexisNexis revenue, but plays a devastating role in deportations and family separations.

Tell LexisNexis to stop doing business with ICE.

John,

Masked and kitted-out like paramilitaries, Trump’s ICE agents continue terrorising immigrant communities across the US – and using vast databases of personal data to hunt people down.

One of ICE’s key enablers is data analytics giant LexisNexis, which helps them track people even in sanctuary cities where communities once felt safe.

Right now, LexisNexis bosses are weighing risk, revenue, and reputation, as their current contract with ICE expires in March. If enough of us act together, we can tip the balance by showing that this contract carries outsized ethical and business costs to the company and its British multinational parent, RELX.

Tell LexisNexis and RELX to stop doing business with ICE.

ICE uses LexisNexis to dodge local and state laws and policies that safeguard the rights of immigrant communities. It’s another reason why we need to resist corporations that gobble up our personal data to use against us.

The $21 million ICE contract represents a tiny fraction of LexisNexis’s and RELX’s overall revenue – but it plays a devastating role in enabling deportations, family separations, and terror.

LexisNexis claims that it’s not responsible for how ICE uses its tools, and doesn’t even guarantee the accuracy of its data. It’s a classic corporate anti-social response, but it doesn’t even make business sense, when LexisNexis’s brand is on the line. Other companies have exited far more lucrative contracts when the ethical and reputational risks became too big to ignore.

Tell LexisNexis and RELX to stop doing business with ICE.

Every signature we can gather strengthens the case against extending the contract with ICE. Company boards hate “small revenue, big headache” contracts. That’s why we have a real chance of winning this one if we act fast, and deliver our voices online and to the bosses at the company HQ.

Will you sign and share to help us get to 100,000 signatures?
