DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://www.codepink.org/cpc121\n\nJoin CODEPINK Congress as we 
 educate, activate and mobilize for peace legislation!\n\nDoctors Against 
 Genocide and Taxpayers Against Genocide are demanding accountability and 
 justice for the victims of the US-backed genocide in Gaza. Currently, a 
 ceasefire agreement has been reached.\n\nStill, the struggle continues to 
 prevent and punish those complicit in genocide.\n\nFirst, we turn to 
 Doctors Against Genocide, a global coalition of healthcare workers 
 dedicated to succeeding where global governments have failed in confronting 
 and preventing genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Their 
 “Not Another Child, Not Another Hospital Campaign” invites medical 
 institutions to take a long overdue stand–with vigils and press 
 conferences– against genocide in Gaza–and to demand the release of 
 Palestinian Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya.\n\nNext, we turn to Taxpayers Against 
 Genocide (TAG), plaintiffs in a lawsuit representing 600 constituents 
 charging northern California lawmakers "illegally abused their tax and 
 spend authority when they voted to allocate $26.38 billion in military aid 
 to Israel on April 20, 2024," and that by doing so, they violated the U.S. 
 Constitution, the Genocide Convention, and federal laws.” The complaint 
 has been filed under the Ninth Amendment of the Constitution, which 
 protects rights not otherwise stated in the Constitution.\n\nFeatured 
 Guests\n\nDr. Karameh Kuemmerle is the co-founder of Doctors Against 
 Genocide (DAG), a global network of medical professionals dedicated to 
 confronting genocide and advocating for the protection of healthcare in 
 conflict zones. A Palestinian pediatric neurologist at Boston Children's 
 Hospital and faculty member at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Kuemmerle's work 
 is driven by her commitment to justice and equity in healthcare.  Her 
 leadership in DAG stems from personal experience as a Palestinian having 
 witnessed firsthand systematic anti-Palestinian racism that allowed the 
 genocide in Palestine to happen.\n\nSeth Donnelly is the lead plaintiff in 
 a class action lawsuit against northern California congress members who 
 voted to use taxpayer funds to arm Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The case, 
 filed by Taxpayers Against Genocide (TAG), accuses US reps Jared Huffman 
 (D-San Rafael) and Mike Thompson (D-St. Helena) of violating multiple 
 domestic laws, including the Leahy Law, that bar aid for military units 
 committing gross human rights violations. Donnely taught public high school 
 for years and is one of the founding members of TAG.\n
