On Friday, January 26, a federal court in Oakland, CA will hear a lawsuit filed by Palestinian plaintiffs charging President Biden, Secretary of State Blinken, and Secretary of Defense Austin with complicity in Israel’s genocide. This suit seeks an emergency federal court order to halt U.S. support for this genocide.
Join GGJ, Rising Majority, and other allies for a Day of Action! While the case is being made to end military support to Israel, we call on you to take action wherever you are to ramp up the pressure on Biden, Blinken, and Austin. The federal court has the authority to force the U.S. to stop this genocide, a crucial and urgent case for the millions who are enduring the devastating effects of Israel’s rampage.
We call on all people of conscience to be in solidarity with our court partners on January 26. Endorse this day and pledge to take action! Actions can include:
- Holding a local ceasefire rally or action targeting your elected official or demanding the court hold the U.S. accountable for its complicity in genocide
- Calling your congressional representatives to urge them to demand the U.S. government uphold its legal obligations to end support for Israel’s genocide
- Holding a local viewing of the livestream of the court hearing (details to come)
Sign up for more information and use this toolkit to help plan an action on January 26!
