Citizen Bank-Stop Financing ICE Detention Centers
Indivisible
This a local Indivisible event!
Join Jersey Shore Blue as we rally in front of Citizens Bank in Spring Lake to demand they severe ties with CoreCivic and the GEOGroup two of the largest operators of for-profit ICE Detention Centers in the United States. These facilities have extensive histories of poor conditions and medical neglect.
Reports indicate that over the past two years, Citizens Bank has arranged approximately $2.5 billion in financing for these private prison operators.
We demand Citizens Bank follow other major banking institutions and stop profiting from the pain of immigrant incarceration.
We'll have posters with photos of over 40 individuals who have died in ICE custody or due to ICE actions for rally goers to hold. Feel free to bring your own signs about the inhumanity of ICE detentions.
Meet on the sidewalk in front of the Citizens Bank branch at 1001 Route 71, Spring Lake (corner of Route 71 and Warren Ave)
Suggested Parking-Spring Lake Train station (about 2 blocks from the bank)
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.
