SUMMARY:Citizens Bank Standout in Newton Centre
DESCRIPTION:Citizens Bank has been a major financial funder of two private prison companies: CoreCivic and The GEO Group. These private companies have been holding thousands of undocumented immigrants\, many of whom are illegally detained. We demand that Citizens Bank drop all financial ties with CoreCivic and The GEO Group. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo read more about the misdeeds of Citizens Bank\, please read the De-ICE Citizens Bank website: https://www.de-icecitizensbank.org/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Jewish Alliance of Law and Social Action (JALSA) is hosting regular (every two weeks) peaceful\, non-violent standouts outside of Citizens Bank’s location in Newton Centre. We want to promote awareness of Citizens Bank immoral investing and we want to encourage passers-by to move their money away from Citizens Bank. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe hope that you’ll be able to join us. We have leverage over Citizens Bank – let’s use our power! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Updates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA 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.

SUMMARY:De-ICE Citizens Bank East Longmeadow
DESCRIPTION:Send Citizens Bank a clear message: financing private prison and immigration detention facility operators The GEO Group and CoreCivic is bad for business. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHelp us build a regular standout at this location! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease bring signs specific to this action: De-ICE Citizens Bank; Cages Aren’t Communities; Citizens Bank – Stop Financing ICE Prisons; Citizens Bank + ICE = Human Rights Abuse; ICE Prisons Don’t Strengthen Our Communities; Citizens Bank – Cut Ties With ICE Prisons; etc. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCitizens Bank is bankrolling the country’s two largest prison companies that are earning record profits operating dozens of ICE detention facilities. While most major banks have cut ties with CoreCivic and The GEO Group\, Citizens Bank is deepening its financial support for these companies\, which are already holding more than half of the 70\,000 immigrants currently in ICE detention centers across the country. \n\n\n\nThe bank’s capital is supporting a deplorable ICE agenda that aims to fill detention centers with more than 100\,000 people by next year. Even as it publicly touts its commitment to “strengthening our communities\,” Citizens Bank has played a key role in helping The GEO Group and CoreCivic access more than $2.5 billion in financing\, some of it approved earlier this year. This comes as the companies face a mountain of allegations\, including forced labor and wrongful deaths due to understaffing and medical neglect at their facilities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe won’t quietly stand by as Citizens continues to finance the private prison & ICE detention companies that are harming our communities. The 2019 exodus of banks from the industry in response to activism should be a reminder to us that our voices matter. Now it’s time to use them. Visit www.de-icecitizensbank.org for more information and other actions you can take! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRemember\, we want to be in solidarity with workers including bank branch employees. Treat everyone with respect and do not harass or film employees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA core principle behind all Coalition 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. We expect hosts to ensure all participants in your event uphold this commitment. We recommend all participants review a safety and security resource before your event\, such as https://indivisi.org/safety. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Updates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action.

SUMMARY:Rapid Response Solidarity Standout and Vigil 
DESCRIPTION:This past Tuesday\, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and killed by ICE agents in Houston\, Texas\, during a traffic stop in which they were looking for someone else\, who they say matched Lorenzo’s description. The ICE agents were not wearing body cams and the Federal Government is already spinning a narrative that we have heard before to justify past shootings. LULAC\, the oldest Hispanic civil rights organization in the US\, has launched a petition called for a fully transparent investigation and accountability for Lorenzo’s death. \n\n\n\nIt will take immense public pressure to force accountability\, but accountability is long overdue. Jonathan Ross\, who murdered Reneé Good\, is still walking free as are Alex Pretti’s killers. If we do not respond collectively\, the message we will send is clear: ICE can continue to kill people\, both on the streets and in detention facilities across the country\, with impunity. Americans will simply continue with our business\, and ICE (and our elected officials) will pay no price for their violence. Community members in Houston took the streets today\, and in consultation with organizers from Fuerza\, we decided today to organize a rapid response solidarity standout and vigil tomorrow\, Friday July 10\, from 7:30-8:30pm on Main and Moody Streets (see flyer for sharing at the end of this newsletter). \n\n\n\nWe want to make it clear that in Waltham\, we will not turn a blind eye to ICE shootings nor to ICE’s ongoing abuses in detention centers. In Waltham\, we will stand up publicly for our immigrant neighbors\, friends\, and family members; we will not be intimidated into silence\, we will continue to take up space and exercise our rights\, and we will demand justice and accountability\, as well as ICE OUT of our community. \n\n\n\nImmediately prior to this standout\, we have an existing postcard writing gathering at First Parish in Waltham\, from 5:30-7:30pm. We will have postcard packets to fill out and will also have sign making supplies in case you want to come make a sign prior the standout.
