Thanks to all who braved the downpour yesterday to remind #CitizensBank that there is more work ahead. IWQ members were joined by several speakers including Samantha Kattan, Steven Raga, an advocate from TQ Community Fund, and a representative from Julie Won‘s team.

Very important for Montclair to get hard assurances from Citizens about what the extent of the break-up with CoreCivic and Geo Group is. Was it a total severing of existing arrangements or does it only refer to what they will do going forward. @de-icecitizensbank.org

Cambridge, Somerville celebrate as Citizens de-ICEs After months of protests, the bank ended its credit facilities with two private prison companies. Though it said the change happened because of shifts in the companies’ financial requirements....

Congratulations to all who worked so hard for this! 👏🏽 💐

THIS is what democracy looks like. Activists from Montclair Indivisible & Montclair Sundays @indivisible.org speaking at Town Council mtgs in Montclair & Bloomfield in favor of items WE put on the agenda to close town accounts at Citizens Bank over ICE complicity. Montclair voted Tuesday to🧵

"Citizens Bank said it plans to wind down its financial relationship with two private prison companies that have been government contractors under the Trump administration to help run immigration detention centers, bowing to public pressure from advocates and left-leaning city governments."

On Tuesday, a New Jersey town pulled $91M out of Citizens Bank over its business with ICE prison contractors GEO Group and CoreCivic. Yesterday, Citizens announced it was ending its relationships with GEO and CoreCivic. Money managers should DIVEST from #$GEO #$CXW www.nj.com/essex/2026/0...

Wake up, babe, new De-ICE Citizens Bank sign just dropped 👀

Congratulations 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

Citizens Bank on Friday said it will end its credit facilities with GEO Group and CoreCivic, two of the biggest contractors for ICE. By @krish-eh.bsky.social rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/07/17/c...

Citizens Bank, the Providence-headquartered financial institution, says it ended its relationship with CoreCivic and The GEO Group, two companies that invest in and operate prisons that detain ICE arrestees. https://bit.ly/4ppd3LI

"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...

This is a big win. Huge congrats to the De-ICE Citizens Bank organizers!!! Fight's not over - organizers are pushing Citizens Bank to fully "ending any and all current and future banking relationships with CoreCivic, GEO Group, and every other private prison company." apnews.com/article/citi...

Congratulations to the De-ICE Citizens Bank Coalition "Citizens Bank to end current financing of CoreCivic and The GEO Group"- docs.google.com/document/u/0...

Announcing they’ll stop lending to GEO Group & Core Civic, Citizens said it’s “disappointed activists have dragged [the bank] into a political matter.” I’d refer them to Eli Weisel: “We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.” www.americanbanker.com/news/citizen...

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

"Fierce" is right! When we fight, we win 💪 @maddow.bsky.social @maddowblog.bsky.social

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...

We did it! Our voices work if we use them! apnews.com/article/citi... @de-icecitizensbank.org

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 ✊

Last night, the Montclair Township Council voted unanimously to move $64M in taxpayer funds from Citizens Bank over its financing of for-profit ICE camp operators. Get our divestment toolkit to learn how you can help your local government do the same: www.de-icecitizensbank.org/webinar

@westbaybluewave.bsky.social great job making the case for why we are doing this!

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Say his name. Learn his story. Demand an independent investigation. And justice.

If you’re conflicted about the weekend’s celebrations, I understand. But the truth is this: This isn’t Trump’s 250th. This is America’s 250th. And to me, that means a celebration of and recommitment to a founding ethos that we’ll never bow down to a king or accept tyranny against our neighbors.

Take 30 seconds to email the CFO at Citizens Bank! Thanks @jesscraven101.bsky.social

Folks showed up again yesterday in West Roxbury MA to protest Citizens Bank support of concentration camps. What horrific values those corporate leaders have. Shocking. #boycottCitizens @de-icecitizensbank.org @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social

I changed from my Midwestern bank to Citizens when I moved to Boston, but now I will need to change again. I need a good bank I can access if I have to travel, where I can go in and talk to someone if I need to. Any suggestions, my peeps?

Thanks @joekatz45.bsky.social and @roganslist.bsky.social

Today, people who care showed up at @citizensbank.bsky.social in E. Longmeadow to say #DeIceCitizens @boycottcitizens.org @de-icecitizensbank.org don’t let the bank use your $$ on concentration camps! @ruwmi.bsky.social @indivisiblemass.bsky.social @indivisible.org #mapoli @sarajanemaki.bsky.social

Our recent letter to Citizens Bank, sent to their corporate office and our local West Roxbury branch manager, pledging to keep withdrawing money until they stop financing blatant human rights abuses through CoreCivic and GEO Group. @de-icecitizensbank.org

“Our money is never morally neutral. It is an expression of what we believe and who we choose to become.” 🔥

Greater Cleveland Congregations, a nonpartisan interfaith coalition of 37 faith communities, is joining the growing chorus of voices across the country demanding Citizens Bank stop financing the for-profit prison companies harming our communities.
