Wait, genocide charges in a civil court? What are they even trying to accomplish? I'm certainly not a lawyer, but that doesn't sound like it makes much sense.

As far as I know there's no way for members of the public to criminally charge the president under US system. What this accomplishes is drawing attention to the fact that Biden is complicit in a genocide.
