DESCRIPTION:US TAXES ARE FUNDING GENOCIDE IN GAZA & THERE’S A GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT TO 
 RESIST PAYING TAXES\n\nThe growing grassroots movement involves refusing to 
 pay income taxes in protest of the US government’s complicity in 
 Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza.\n\nWhile withholding all or part of 
 one's federal income tax is not legal, it is being done within a context 
 claiming that paying taxes to the US Government at this time amounts to 
 aiding and abetting genocide, as well as war crimes and crimes against 
 humanity, all of which are illegal under international law. It is also in 
 violation of US domestic law, such as the Foreign Assistance Act.\n\nThis 
 virtual workshop will discuss possible ways for the National Lawyers Guild 
 (NLG) to become involved in this movement, by offering legal advice to 
 people engaged in  genocide/war tax resistance. It’s another way for the 
 NLG to be the legal arm of the people’s movement and to keep the 
 Palestine solidarity movement’s momentum going when the protests in the 
 street are no longer taking place on a daily or weekly basis.\n\nThere are 
 ethical implications involved in lawyers, law students and legal workers 
 offering legal advice to people thinking of engaging in illegal behavior. 
 Therefore, there will be discussion of the legal ethics concerns at 
 issue.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nLincoln Rice, Coordinator of the National War Tax 
 Resistance Coordinating Committee (NWTRCC), which has been engaged in war 
 tax resistance for decades\n\nPeter Goldberger,  legal counsel to 
 NWTRCC\n\nSuad Abdel Aziz, NLG Vice President, Member of the Executive 
 Committee & Palestine Subcommittee\n
