The Conference of Major Superiors of Men — of which the Viatorians are members — has joined with the more than 85 organizations of the Families Belong Together coalition calling on Wells Fargo and JP Morgan Chase to stop financing for-profit prison companies benefitting from family separation and detention.

This Wednesday, Sept. 26, there will be a mass petition drop at the headquarters of both banks and at various local branches.

Action: We ask you to either join the drop offs at the headquarters if you are nearby or to drop off a letter at one of your local Wells Fargo or JP Morgan Chase branches.
