U.S. Taxpayers File Historic Legal Complaint in DC on May 14,
Charging the U.S. Government with Complicity in Genocide
Taxpayers from Both Coasts Converge in DC
“We are filing this complaint at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights because the U.S. government has effectively shielded itself from accountability for its international crimes under its own legal system, even for crimes against humanity and genocide.” -- Huwaida Arraf, lead attorney and also one of the founders of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition

Taxpayers Against Genocide is a national grassroots movement fighting for Palestinian liberation and an end to the use of our federal tax dollars for genocide.
TAG is working for the world we know is possible—one where workers and families are safe to flourish on a healthy planet free from occupation, extraction, oppression, apartheid and exploitation; where leaders are responsible to the people they serve and not to corporations or the rich and powerful.

What’s Next
TAG, in partnership with National Lawyers Guild attorneys submitted a report to the UN Human Rights Council and has filed a legal complaint to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, detailing evidence of U.S. participation in genocide.
TAG has launched an urgent campaign on the global stage. On April 7, we submitted a groundbreaking report to the UN Human Rights Council as part of its Universal Periodic Review of the US government, exposing systemic injustices and human rights violations. Then this past Spring, on May 14, we escalate our efforts by filing a formal complaint against the US government with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
These actions amplify the voices of Palestinians and those fighting against genocide and systemic violence within the US.
Real change is possible, but only through the collective power of the people. Together, we will confront the violence of the US government and create a world rooted in liberation, indigenous sovereignty, self-determination, and land back. Join us. Stand with us. The time to act is NOW.
U.S. officials arming Israel are criminals—and their actions make us all complicit in genocide.
The U.S. government’s unconditional support for Israel fuels violence, oppression, and the ongoing devastation of Palestinian lives. We REFUSE to be silent. We REFUSE to be complicit.
We demand an immediate end to all U.S. military aid to Israel. Not tomorrow. Not next year. Now!
Free Palestine
