Friend,
As we stare down a second Trump administration and full Republican control of Congress, nonprofits are on the frontlines of upholding our shared values, providing access to essential services and defending our Constitution. We cannot allow the dangerous HR 9495 bill to advance any further: Will you donate to Free Press Action today to ensure we have the resources for this urgent fight?

Friend,
Unfortunately, the House passed HR 9495 yesterday.
This dangerous legislation would grant broad and easily abused powers to the executive branch, threatening the work of every single nonprofit in the country. That means independent newsrooms, advocacy groups like Free Press Action, hospitals and countless other organizations — no matter how important their cause, the Trump administration could unilaterally declare them enemies of the state.
The battle over HR 9495 is urgent — not just for Free Press Action, but for protest rights, independent journalism and even access to health care. Donate today.
This vote marks a grim day for fundamental rights in the United States. However, as we gear up to oppose this bill when it reaches the Senate, we’re going into the next round of the fight with a few dozen reasons to keep hope alive: Thanks to the efforts of the thousands of you who signed our petition and called your representatives, we successfully pushed nearly 40 lawmakers to switch their votes from “yes” when this bill came up two weeks ago to “no” on this latest effort.
We’ll do everything in our power to keep up this momentum and prevent the bill from advancing in the Senate — but this fight is as expensive as it is urgent. Could you rush an emergency donation to Free Press Action today to ensure we have the resources we need to fight this dangerous legislation?

Make no mistake: The real intention of HR 9495 is to give the Trump administration extra powers to suppress dissent. If it’s signed into law, the legislation would have a widespread chilling effect on nonprofit groups and the millions of people who rely on these organizations to engage in the political process and access crucial services.
HR 9495 is more like the boot heel of an authoritarian regime than a tool of a healthy democracy. With your help, we’ll guarantee that senators’ phones ring nonstop with constituents’ warnings against handing unchecked power to any president, let alone the vengeance-seeking Trump.
In solidarity,
Jenna and all of us at Free Press Action
