    We hope anyone involved in fighting the US-Israeli genocide will join us in New York for this historic filing, press conference, rally, and march.

On Wednesday, May 14, Taxpayers Against Genocide (TAG) and the National Lawyers Guild International Committee filed a legal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) against the U.S. government for complicity in genocide in Gaza. The lawsuit includes notarized affidavits by Palestinian-American plaintiffs who have lost loved ones to the U.S.-funded genocide.

The complaint is endorsed by a wide range of civil organizations, including the Arab Resource Organizing Center Action, Palestinian Youth Movement, the U.S. Palestinian Community Network, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, Black Alliance for Peace, Doctors Against Genocide, CODEPINK, Friends of Latin America,  Nicaraguan Solidarity Coalition, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, Alliance for Global Justice, and many more.

The complaint continues to gather endorsements from a wide-range of organizations, including American Muslims for Palestine, Palestinian Youth Movement NY, Within Our Lifetime, and Jewish Voice for Peace, and individuals, including Mahmoud Khalil. President Gustavo Petro of Columbia and a founding member of the Hague Group, has recently signaled support for our effort.
