Hi all, Do you know someone who works for a US nonprofit organization with which Trump might disagree? Or do you just agree with a nonprofit like that? The ACLU, the Tor Project, EFF, CAIR, etc.
There's a vote happening today in Congress on a bill that would allow Trump to target nonprofits he doesn't like and deems "terrorist." Call a member of Congress here (calling works best and this is your moment): https://www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-on-hr9495 ("Vote no on HR 9495") Here's a list of groups that oppose it from an Amnesty International letter: https://www.aclu.org/documents/civil-society-letter-to-congress-opposing-hr-9495 * It would give the U.S. Treasury unilateral authority <https://theintercept.com/2024/11/10/trump-nonprofit-tax-exempt-political-enemies/> to strip tax-exempt status from nonprofits deemed “terrorist supporting organizations.” That’s a frightening prospect given Trump’s previous attempt to designate antifascist protesters as “terrorists,” <https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/trump-says-he-will-designate-antifa-terrorist-organization-gop-points-n1220321> his classification of pro-Palestinian protesters as “pro-Hamas radicals,” <https://www.nbcnews.com/news/trumps-plan-quell-protests-deport-hamas-radicals-rcna166168> his open desire to quell dissent with violence <https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/13/trump-military-enemies-within/>, and his frequent classification of those who disagree with him as the “enemy from within.” <https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-suggests-hell-use-the-military-on-the-enemy-from-within-the-u-s-if-hes-reelected> - MSNBC <https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/nonprofits-bill-trump-house-republicans-terrorism-rcna180696>* Cheers, Katie Krauss Liberation Tech
