Tell Your Senators to Reject H.R. 9495

The House of Representatives just passed H.R. 9495, legislation that would grant the president—namely, Donald Trump—sweeping, unrestricted power to direct the Treasury secretary to strip away the tax-exempt status of nonprofit organizations which they deem as "terrorist-supporting organizations." And there would fundamentally be no due process—nonprofits could lose their status without comprehensive evidence or explanation.

Unsurprisingly, it's already illegal to provide support to terrorist organizations. So what's really behind this legislation? Simply, it's an authoritarian play led by Republicans to expand the powers of the executive branch so the Trump administration can crush nonprofits for their political opposition and stifle dissent.

This bill poses an existential threat to the crucial grassroots and legal organizations that will be at the forefront of resisting Trump's authoritarianism.

Call your Senators now and tell them you reject H.R. 9495, and you urge them to do everything they can to oppose this legislation passing in the Senate. Enter your information to the right to be directed to a script and phone number to call.
