John,
The Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act has been introduced in both the House and the Senate. This bill would give the Treasury Secretary unchecked power to revoke a nonprofit’s tax-exempt status, by merely claiming — with no evidence or due process — that the organization is linked to terrorism.
Trump will be returning to the Oval Office in just a few weeks, and he could weaponize this bill, dubbed the “Nonprofit Killer,” to punish his political enemies and critics.
That's right. Trump could use this legislation to shut down hundreds of non-profits — vital organizations that champion reproductive health, immigrant rights, human rights, racial justice, LGBTQ+, environmental awareness, and educational advocacy.
We need to stand strong against H.R 9495 & S.4057, the Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act.
Take action now: Sign to demand that Congress reject this legislation and protect nonprofits and civil society from dangerous executive overreach.
It’s critical that we take action right now, together. With Republicans dominating all three branches of our government and Trump in charge, this is just the beginning of dangerous legislation that we’ll need to stand up against.
Thank you,
Democratic Values
