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.

Has there been a breakdown of how much of the contaminated recycling comes from commercial vs. residential recycling bins?
