We are US civil rights lawyers. Trump’s policies have driven us to seek justice internationally| Thomas Becker and Antonio Romanucci
Despite the US legal system’s flaws, our work – from securing a record civil settlement for George Floyd’s family to holding Bolivia’s ex-president accountable in US federal court for the massacre of Indigenous protesters – has demonstrated that US courts can reign in state power and provide a path to accountability.

Together with the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the commission is the bedrock of the hemisphere’s human rights system.
