We Charge Genocide is a volunteer effort to center the voices and experiences of young people who are targeted by police and impacted by police violence, in Chicago. We offer a group for necessary organization to resist police violence in Chicago. The name, We Charge Genocide, comes from a petition filed to the United Nations in 1951 that documented 153 racial killings and other human rights abuses across the United States, mostly caused by the local police. Today, police violence in Chicago continues to violate human rights principles—seen in the daily harassment, abuse, and targeting of youth of color by Chicago police.
