Taxpayers Against Genocide Sue Two California Democrats for Funding Israeli Military
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Northern California, more than 500 residents have joined a
class-action lawsuit in an effort to block future U.S. military aid to
Israel over Gaza. The lawsuit targets Democratic Congressmembers Jared
Huffman and Mike Thompson. The lawsuit was filed by the group Taxpayers
Against Genocide. Seth Donnelly is the group's lead organizer.

Seth Donnelly: "We want to go to where the source is. It controls our
tax dollars. And that's Congress. They have power of the purse. And our
two reps in the House voted - and that's Mike Thompson for some of the
counties, and the other one is Jared Huffman for the other counties.
They both voted on April 20th to send $26 billion more in military aid
to Israel. And by that point, the evidence of genocide was
overwhelming."
