Citizens Bank: Stop Financing ICE Prisons (Arlington Center)
June 13 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am EDT
Protests began on January 24 with more than 40 standouts and 1000 people at Citizens Banks across the northeast. On March 7, there were 70 standouts along the eastern seaboard. On June 6, the most recent coordinated standouts, there were more than 140 events in 15 states in the eastern U.S. and California.
We’re keeping the pressure on! Sign up and join this protest sponsored by Indivisible LAB—Lexngton, Arlington, Bedford, and Beyond. Address available upon registration.
Citizens Bank claims it’s dedicated to fostering strong communities. Yet it provides hundreds of millions of dollars in financial support and services to CoreCivic and The GEO Group—the country’s large for-profit prison and detention center builders and operators. 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.
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.

A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
