Bonus for today’s #DeICECitizens protesters! Nearby artist has admired our protests, made necklaces with beads representing a strong sentiment in Morse code and gave them to us. Protesting can be elegant & arts are important to the resistance!
Cali Overs had envisioned the end of her senior year of high school as a celebration.
Instead, she has spent months pushing against the planned ICE detention center near her Arizona school, becoming a fixture at city council meetings.
This is a great interview with important info about Citizens Bank, ICE prisons, and the pressure campaign!
Today’s @de-icecitizensbank.org protest in Roslindale MA. 22 people, a few first-timers. Lots of support from walkers & drivers. Several bank customers stopped to learn about Citizens working with ICE prison companies-surprised & angry. @crowdcounting.bsky.social @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social
How can Citizens Bank want to be known as the ICE prisons bank? That’s their rep now. 25 people today at @de-icecitizensbank.org protest in West Roxbury MA, incl a few first timers - like every week, movement grows.

A portion of today’s crowd protesting Citizens Bank in West Roxbury MA. Communities, not cages. Even with abuse and death count rising, Citizens is backing abusers. Sickening on so many levels.

This morning’s #boycottCitizens protest in Roslindale MA. Citizens CEO referred to ICE prison companies as “partners.” Partners in hate & lawlessness. @de-icecitizensbank.org @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social
Cali Overs spent her senior year lobbying local, state and federal officials after Homeland Security bought a warehouse near her Arizona high school.

Thank you to @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social, who sat down yesterday with our own Peyton Fleming to talk about the strategy of combining education, protests, and an organized money withdrawal campaign to urge Citizens Bank to stop backing the for-profit ICE prison companies hurting our neighbors.
