Join Northland Neighbors United in solidarity with neighbors unjustly detained at MRRC in Leavenworth (operated by CoreCivic/financed by Citizens Bank). We invite any group with an action in the next 2 weeks at a CoreCivic or GEO Group ICE Camp to register it with us too at BIT.LY/DEICECITIZENS
Years after other banks cut ties with for-profit ICE contractors CoreCivic and GEO Group, Citizens Bank is still helping ensure they have the cash they need to expand and imprison even more of our neighbors in inhumane conditions. Join groups at 120+ locations on June 6 to #DeICECitizensBank
GEO Group & CoreCivic profit by cutting corners on staffing, medical care, food & maintenance. They exploit the people they detain for labor, paying almost nothing while charging them huge markups for necessities like toothpaste. Help hold Citizens Bank accountable for bankrolling their horrors.
Join us June 6th (or close) to De-ICE Citizens Bank and stop the cash to CoreCivic and GEO. We’ll be at 100+ branches, and invite groups hosting a protest at a CoreCivic or GEO Group facility around then to register it with us at bit.ly/deicecitizens so we can amplify your work and Citizens’ role.
Thank you 🙏 @roganslist.bsky.social for the great list of actions to de-ICE Citizens Bank, including our national coordinated action June 6th. We’re almost at 100 locations- and there’s plenty of time to sign up to host one yourself! open.substack.com/pub/susanrog... @maddow.bsky.social
🚨 By bankrolling GEO Group, Citizens Bank is using its customers' money to help enable the preventable deaths of our neighbors at GEO's Adelanto ICE facility and others across the country. Join us on June 6 to tell Citizens no more cash for ICE prisons: mobilize.us/deicecitizens
You may not have a Citizens Bank branch near you, but for-profit prison companies' favorite bank is doing business in your area. Citizens is the #1 originator of HELOCs, and also provides student loans and digital-only banking nationwide. #deicecitizensbank
Citizens Bank's greed is enabling GEO Group's corruption. Had enough? So have we. Join us on June 6 to tell Citizens no more cash for for-profit ICE prison companies: www.mobilize.us/deicecitizens/
Banks choose who they finance, and communities are watching. 👀 #deicecitizensbank
