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!
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!
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
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.

Overdue post. 40 people, 3 screens, lots of conversation, singing, organizing & community at our Rise Up Sing Out watch party on Sunday. Some brand new activists.

Cali Overs spent her senior year lobbying local, state and federal officials after Homeland Security bought a warehouse near her Arizona high school.
Blatantly corrupt, and this practice needs to be banned.

Some news worth sharing: the @pplmvotes.org has endorsed Persis Yu for State Senate. At a time when reproductive freedom is under attack just about everywhere, that says something about where this race stands. 🧵

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.
