Tampa Bay, FL: Banner-Drops Target GEO Group Profiteers

The following action report was submitted to It’s Going Down anonymously.

On a day of direct action, community-organizers in Tampa Bay, FL coordinated a series of targeted banner-drops exposing GEO Group’s complicity in caging children, detaining migrants, and profiting off the abuse and human trafficking of human beings.

The community-organizers strategically selected their targets for maximum impact, counting on heavy traffic in the morning commute to work.

GEO Group has threatened activists with a lawsuit over exposing its crimes to the world. Since Immigration and Customs Enforcement was established, GEO Group has reaped ill-gotten gains.

As momentum for the #August21 Prison Strike grows, now more than ever we must begin to recognize the intersectionality of the prison-industrial complex’s private profits off human suffering and slavery.

This was just one of many direct actions today going down across the nation to smash GEO Group’s profit margins as ICE’s biggest contract-holder.
