De-ICE Citizens Bank Delaney Hall/GEO Group - National Day of Action

Delaney Hall, Newark, New Jersey
About
Due to the ongoing protests at Delaney Hall in New Jersey and the fluid nature of access to the site, the De-ICE Citizens Bank Coalition is not holding a scheduled onsite action there on June 6. We will be at 125+ other locations, mostly Citizens Bank branches and some other GEO or Core Civic ICE camps. We stand in solidarity with all the people inside Delaney Hall and everyone outside fighting for their release. Members of the nearby groups in our Coalition are part of a broad community effort to call for closure of the facility and to support the hunger strikers and others and their families. For ways to help - see https://www.instagram.com/p/DZDGsS5lMq-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Delaney Hall is operated by the for-profit company GEO Group. Citizens Bank is bankrolling it and CoreCivic, the country’s two largest prison companies that are earning record profits operating dozens of ICE detention facilities. While most major banks have cut ties with CoreCivic and The GEO Group, Citizens Bank is deepening its financial support for these companies, which are already holding more than half of the 70,000 immigrants currently in ICE detention centers across the country. The bank’s capital is supporting a deplorable ICE agenda that aims to fill detention centers with more than 100,000 people by next year. Even as it publicly touts its commitment to “strengthening our communities,” Citizens Bank has played a key role in helping The GEO Group and CoreCivic access more than $2.5 billion in financing, some of it approved earlier this year. This comes as the companies face a mountain of allegations, including forced labor and wrongful deaths due to understaffing and medical neglect at their facilities. We won't quietly stand by as Citizens continues to finance the private prison & ICE detention companies that are harming our communities. The 2019 exodus of banks from the industry in response to activism should be a reminder to us that our voices matter. Now it's time to use them. Visit www.de-icecitizensbank.org for more information and other actions you can take! A core principle behind all Coalition events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. We expect hosts to ensure all participants in your event uphold this commitment. We recommend all participants review a safety and security resource before your event, such as https://indivisi.org/safety.
