Citizens Bank Protest – Grafton
December 13 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm EST
Citizens Bank has provided $120 million in loans to CoreCivic, one of the largest private prison corporations in the country. CoreCivic runs at least 65 prisons and ICE detention centers and has a history of running these facilities with violence and neglect. This is part of GAIN’s effort to coordinate our regional efforts to expand beyond our Burlington initiative, Justice4All Thursdays, coordinate our efforts to raise awareness, and increase pressure on businesses supporting ICE to change their behavior. Grafton’s Indivisible Group is launching this effort-and people can help by showing up. Info about signing up for updates coming soon.
Why: By protesting Citizens and encouraging account holders to move their accounts, we act on Indivisible’s One Million Rising approach to break down the “pillars” supporting the authoritarian regime. For more information and to sign a letter to Citizens Bank, click HERE.
