Greater New Haven Community Events Calendar

Friday, June 5, 2026, 11am-12:30pm: demonstrate outside Citizens Bank,​39 Church Street in New Haven, CT. Activists in New Haven will join the national movement calling on Citizens Bank to stop financing GEO and CoreCivic, two of the largest private operators of ICE detention centers in the United States.

Join thousands of people across the country to send Citizens Bank a clear message: financing private prison and immigration detention facility operators The GEO Group and CoreCivic is bad for business, bad for our communities, and unacceptable to Citizens Bank depositors.

Please bring signs specific to this action: De-ICE Citizens Bank; Cages Aren’t Communities; Citizens Bank — Stop Financing ICE Prisons; Citizens Bank + ICE = Human Rights Abuse; ICE Prisons Don’t Strengthen Our Communities; Citizens Bank — Cut Ties With ICE Prisons; etc.

Citizens Bank is bankrolling 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.
