Citizens Bank claims it’s dedicated to fostering strong communities. Yet it provides hundreds of millions of dollars in financial support and services to the country’s large for-profit prison and detention center builders and operators—CoreCivic and The GEO Group. While other US banks have pulled out of the business, Citizens Bank has deepened its ties with the big winners in ICE’s war on immigrants.
Customers and non-customers alike! Help let people know about Citizens Bank’s involvement with ICE. Sign up and join the protest sponsored by the De-ICE Citizens Bank Coalition on Saturday, January 24th 11am. Address available upon registration.
Specific location available upon registration.
If you choose to, bring a sign with a message such as
Citizens Banks: Stop Financing ICE Prisons!
Citizens Bank: Get Out of ICE Business!
We’ll have signs and handouts available. Rain date January 31.
