Citizens Bank: Stop Financing ICE Prisons!
2026-05-02 11:00 - 12:00 | Citizens Bank – Porter Square, 822 Sommerville Ave, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02140
eep the pressure on Citizens Bank to get out of the ICE business!

Citizens TALKS a lot about valuing diversity and building strong communities. But they KEEP QUIET about how, behind the scenes, they are financing private prison companies to lock up ICE detainees under inhumane conditions.

After their annual shareholders meeting, the CEO was quoted as saying they MIGHT meet with the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization about this. A glimmer! Let’s keep pushing for concrete results!

We’ll stand out on the public sidewalk with signs and informational leaflets. We will urge Citizens Bank customers to contact local branch managers and the bank leadership in Providence, RI with this message: because of Citizens’ investments in ICE, I may close my account, or I have already done so.

We will urge non-customers to express their anger to bank leadership, and to also spread the word about the Citizens – ICE connection.

On May 2, local folksinger Cooper Smithson will lead some easy songs about Citizens + ICE.

Please bring only signs specific to this Citizens Bank action, such as: Citizens Bank: Stop Financing ICE Prisons! // ICE Cages Aren’t “Communities” // “Strengthen Our Communities”? Not with ICE Prisons! // Citizens Bank: Cut Ties With ICE.

We’ll have a few extra signs. Bring US flags too!

Dress for the weather. We will cancel only in case of extreme weather. Sign Up to receive event reminder and notice of any cancellation.

BACKGROUND. Citizens Bank publicly presents itself as a community-centered institution committed to social responsibility. Yet the Bank continues to maintain key financial relationships with CoreCivic and The GEO Group, two notorious, for-profit, prison corporations that build and operate immigration detention facilities for ICE, provide transportation services to ICE, and operate prisons for mass incarceration.

For more details about Citizens Bank’s relationship to the private prison system, go to boycottcitizens.org

The action at Porter Square is led by Cambridge members of the De-ICE Citizens Bank Coalition comprising about 60 progressive organizations from over a dozen states in the eastern US (de-icecitizensbank.org/).

RSVP for updates

The Cambridge group can be reached directly at ProtectingOurDemocracy76@gmail.com

THE ASK. The Coalition calls upon Citizens Bank to live up to its stated values by publicly committing to end its financial relationships with private prison and detention contractors. We stand out at the bank to send a clear message: corporations and financial institutions that enable harmful immigration and detention policies must be held accountable by the communities they claim to serve.

Disappeared In America Day of Action
2026-05-02 11:00 - 12:00 | Odell Veterans Memorial Park, 56-98 Broadway, Beverly, MA, 01915
Across the country, immigrant communities are under attack — targeted by raids, detention, and dehumanizing policies that tear families apart. These tactics are being weaponized as part of a broader authoritarian crackdown that threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone.

Now is the time to come together, to stand shoulder to shoulder, and to say clearly: We will not stand by as families are disappeared, rights are dismantled, and democracy itself is eroded.

Bring your friends and your signs !

The Disappeared in America Weekend of Action is a nationwide mobilization to defend our shared values of dignity, freedom, and justice for all. Together, we’ll shine a light on the human toll of detention and demand an end to corporate and government complicity in this cruelty.
