Attorney General Miyares joined 14 other states this week requesting that Bank of America provide a written report about its account policies and practices and update its terms of service to clearly state that it does not discriminate against customers for their religious or political views or speech following alarming reports of the organization habitually discriminating against individuals and groups based on ideological lines.
In fact, the nation's second largest bank has denied services to gun manufacturers, fossil fuel producers, and contractors for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It also canceled the accounts of Christian ministry groups, saying one such group that trains pastors is "operating a business type we have chosen not to service."
"Bank of America's blatant discrimination against account holders whose political and religious ideologies don't align with its own is appalling and un-American. As Attorney General, I will protect the constitutional liberties of all Virginians. Bank of America should clean up its act or prepare to reckon with potential litigation."

Freedom means being able to choose your own religious and political beliefs – no matter what your neighbor, friend, or bank thinks.
