Stop Citizens Bank From Financing Private ICE Prisons
Weekly Saturday Standouts – Medford and Davis Squares
Join Mystic Mashup at local Citizen Bank branches to send Citizens Bank a clear message: financing private prison and immigration detention facility operators The GEO Group and CoreCivic is bad for business.
We’ll stand out on the public sidewalk in front of Citizens Banks in Medford Square and Davis Square on Saturdays from 11-12.
Please only bring signs specific to this action: Cages Aren’t Communities; Citizens Bank – Stop Financing ICE gulags; Citizens Bank + ICE = Human Rights Abuse; ICE Prisons Don’t Strengthen Our Communities; Citizens Bank- Cut Ties With ICE Gulags; etc. We’ll have some extra signs, too.
A core principle behind all of these 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 and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events. Please do not block business entrances or traffic.
