De-ICE Citizens Bank - March 7, 10-11 am
A number of for-profit prisons in the United States are getting rich off of warehousing detained immigrants. The conditions in these prisons are deplorable, with inmates reporting unsanitary conditions, food infested with worms, and a lack of medical care. Several detainees have died in custody.
A coalition of Indivisible groups from Vermont to DC are leading efforts to pressure Citizens to abandon its business lending to these prisons. These groups have been hosting coordinated actions over the past few months. The Coalition’s next action day is Saturday, March 7.
On March 7, from 10-11, in solidarity with regional Indivisible groups, we will stand on the sidewalk in front of the Citizens Bank branch on Nahatan St in Norwood. We will bring copies of handouts. Please bring "ICE Out," or "No More Funding of ICE Prisons" etc. signs.

Thank you for this article! It’s so nice to see these staff members acknowledged for their hard work. I am especially grateful to our custodial staff who maintain the cleanliness of learning spaces during cold and flu season and any waves of the stomach bug.
I cannot remember the last time one of our elected reps (Lynch, Rush, or McMurtry) agreed to sit down with a challenger and answer questions.
