actionnetwork.orgTell your Reps: VOTE NO on H.R. 9495! Defend nonprofit workers NOW. This week the U.S. House of Representatives is voting on H.R. 9495, a bill which includes language that would give the Secretary of the Treasury almost unilateral power to strip the tax-exempt status from any nonprofit organization it deemed to be “providing material support to terrorist organizations.” It was narrowly defeated in an earlier vote on November 12 because it failed to clear a 2/3rds majority vote in the House. During last week’s vote more than 50 House Democrats voted in favor of the bill, which would give future administrations the power to silence dissent and chill opposition, without due process for those targeted. House Republicans reintroduced the bill in a second attempt to pass it and changed the rules so only a simple majority is needed to pass it and move it to the Senate. A vote on the House floor is expected this week. We are urging our members and supporters to contact their U.S. Representative TODAY and ask them to vote NO on H.R. 9495 and preserve free speech at nonprofit organizations. Use this form to send a letter to your representative in Congress.
