Here’s something worth knowing: Citizens Bank is reportedly the last major bank still financing the private companies that build and operate immigration detention facilities for ICE. That includes Delaney Hall — a facility with a deeply troubling record of human rights violations — financed with Citizens Bank money. Broadway.com
So this morning, we were out with our group from Indivisible We Stand – UWS at the Citizens branch on Amsterdam and W. 94th Street, making sure the community knows what their bank is funding. After the protest, we walked inside and sat down with a banker to let them know we’d be moving our mortgage. Because sometimes you have to put your money where your values are.
