Take Action

There are three spokes of non-violent protest: litigation, policy and direct action.

Keep an eye on this space and choose your flavor.

The antidote to despair is action. – Joan Baez

De-ICE Citizens Bank Coordinated Action

When: Saturday, July 18, 2026

Where: Citizens Bank, 1516 Western Avenue, Guilderland, NY

Send Citizens Bank a clear message: financing private prison and immigration detention facility operators The GEO Group and CoreCivic is bad for business.

Please 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. 

Citizens 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.

(As usual, RSVPing is optional but it helps us plan for crowd size!)
