Citizens Bank is financing
ICE detention companies.
Citizens Bank talks a lot about valuing diversity and building strong communities. What they don't talk about: they're helping for-profit prison companies get the cash they need to lock more people away in ICE detention.
You've heard the stories that come out of the facilities run by CoreCivic and The GEO Group. 911 dispatchers flooded with calls. Severe medical neglect. Children locked up for months on end. But even as the heartbreaking stories pour out of ICE detention centers, Citizens Bank keeps pouring money into them.
Citizens Bank has dodged accountability for their important role in supporting inhumane ICE detention. Until now.
Take the De-ICE Citizens Bank pledge
No company should profit from harmful detention practices without consequences. Until Citizens Bank ends its relationships with ICE detention operators, I'll work to educate my community about their involvement,
end their partnerships, and demand accountability from their leadership.
READY TO GET STARTED?
Join us March 7 at Citizens Bank branches across the country.
In January, hundreds of people braved Arctic temperatures to hold peaceful actions outside of Citizens Bank branches to let our neighbors know about the role Citizens is playing in financing ICE detention.
Now that we've all thawed out, we're ready to do it again!
Dozens of groups have already announced events at their local Citizens Branches on March 7. Find one near you.
