Help turn up the heat on Citizens Bank for financing ICE prisons. The De-ICE Citizens Bank coalition, which includes dozens of Indivisible groups across the eastern United States, is holding two major events in April to crank up pressure on the only major bank bankrolling the country’s two largest ICE prison companies. CoreCivic and The GEO Group.

On April 16, from 7 to 8 PM, the coalition is hosting a national mobilization call to update individuals and groups already involved in the campaign and to recruit new participants. Sign up HERE.

On April 23, from 8 to 10 AM, the coalition is holding a major protest at the bank’s corporate annual meeting at its headquarters in Providence. The coalition is looking to have hundreds of protesters singing and chanting as shareholders enter the annual shareholder meeting, which starts at 9 AM. Sign up HERE.

A People’s Shareholder Meeting to De-ICE Citizens Bank will be happening from 8 AM to noon outside the building. We’d love to have your support!

From the ACLU: ICE and Border Patrol are out of control and endangering our communities – even shooting and killing people like Alex Pretti and Renee Good in the streets while continuing to target anyone they think might be immigrants. For months now, communities in Minneapolis, Chicago, Charlotte, Los Angeles, and beyond have lived in fear as federal agents have arrested U.S. citizens, dragged children from their beds in the middle of the night, smashed car windows, and targeted protestors.

We can’t wait around while ICE harms more people. Urge Congress to demand an end to these reckless immigration raids and oppose any bill that would add to ICE and CBP’s already massive budget without reining in their lawless and abusive actions.

Help Massachusetts families impacted by ICE enforcement today.

Operation Milkweed is the ultimate collection of mutual aid and direct support for Massachusetts families impacted by ICE enforcement since 2025. These fundraisers were created by the families themselves and their advocates. Donations are NOT tax-deductible, and we take no cut of any donations. Just as monarch butterflies use milkweed plants to deter predators and create safe conditions during migration, immigrant families need community support when facing ICE enforcement. Be the milkweed.

MIRA is the largest coalition in New England promoting the rights and integration of immigrants and refugees. With offices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, we advance this mission through education and training, leadership development, institutional organizing, strategic communications, policy analysis and advocacy.

We organize and empower our members and allies, and together we mobilize immigrant communities to advocate for themselves, and amplify and support their voices. MIRA is a respected leader on immigrant issues at the state and national levels, and an authoritative source of information and policy analysis for policy-makers, advocates, immigrant communities and the media.

Massachusetts residents are being removed from our state through charter flights from Hanscom Field without access to counsel or family support, violating their due process rights under our State Constitution. Massport has a legal way to stop these flights. Demand that they use it.

Lexington Alarm’s letter campaign makes it easy to send letters electronically or through snail mail. The provided script makes this an easy lift.

LUCE is a coalition of immigrant-led, grassroots organizations who build people power for everyone across Massachusetts. 

We move grounded in our principles of justice and equity, with a deep commitment to keeping all of our communities safe through grassroots organizing, information sharing, and mutual aid.

We hold a collective vision for a People’s immigration justice, and refuse to accept that meeting one demand means not meeting another. While we may focus on a particular demand that uplifts a particular community, we refuse to leave anyone behind because of their marginalized identity.

We know that all of us are deserving of collective liberation. We organize in solidarity with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, immigrants and refugees, people who are targets of criminalization and currently or formerly incarcerated, young people, elders, LGBTQ+ people, and all those who are oppressed and living at the margins due to the broken system of “justice” within the U.S.
