Citizens Bank to cut ties with CoreCivic and GEO
"After enduring months of anti-ICE protests at its bank offices, Citizens Financial Group is parting ways with two for-profit prison operators that oversee detention facilities for the federal immigration enforcement agency." www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/17/b...
Liz Schiller #DefundthePolice12As @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social might say, I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.
JuliJess12"Enduring" the months of protests. How terrible it must have been for them...🤣
Septima P. Snark11Keep fighting, fam! Love to all who put this concentrated pressure on this financial group. Love to all those who have committed to fighting in their corners of the world and the work.
tekla 💜✨8Love this. Making yourself a nuisance works!!

Dollyanna2THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE..... #WeCount
Citizens Bank has announced it will exit its lending agreements with CoreCivic and GEO Group. This is an incredible win for everyone who refused to let a major bank finance the human suffering caused by ICE detention! Community resistance matters ✊
De-ICE Citizens Bank13This is a huge victory, but the fight isn't over. We're calling on Citizens to publicly commit in the next 10 days to ending any and all current and future banking relationships with CoreCivic, GEO Group, and every other private prison company. This is the standard their peer banks have already met.
arthurdunger.bsky.social2Will the Victorian govt in Australia continue to allow GEO Group to run 3 prisons there? Any organization that supports ICE should lose contracts everywhere in the world
Paul Barrett ❌👑30Congratulations to all who worked on the campaign to De-ICE Citizens Bank. Proud of the contribution Montclair Sundays made amplifying the campaign in Montclair, Bloomfield. While the bank was grudging in its announcement, let's thank those within Citizens who pushed to do the right thing. #ICEOut
Indivisible Mass Coalition12This is huge! It shows that peaceful people power can win in the resistance to autocracy and fascism! Bravo!! #CitizensBank #PeoplePower #WeThePeople #Resist #Democracy #CommunitiesNotCages
Alternative View, Pacific Northwest7This is how it’s done. In our society, money talks. Suck the money out of these bastards.
rosebud27.bsky.social2It’s about time too bad it took public pressure for this big bank to develop a moral soul.
Yeah, baby! Citizens says they are moving away from ICE private prison companies for “business reasons” not political pressure. But the the business reason IS that people (like us!) and municipalities are closing Citizens accounts BECAUSE OF ICE COMPLICITY. apnews.com/article/citi...
Julie Cohen ❌👑20When Erica @chenoweth.bsky.social talks about fighting authoritarianism by knocking down the pillars of support, this is EXACTLY what she means.
Sunshine4Companies who stay aligned with fascists will not have successful futures.
Dr. Ashok Karra3Courage is contagious. hoping more pressure from all sectors of society sends the message. Thank you
