Hi,
The House GOP is pushing a proposal known as the “nonprofit killer” in its
massive budget bill — a law that would give Trump the power to destroy
organizations that oppose his agenda.^1
The “nonprofit killer” would allow Trump to unilaterally target and revoke
the tax-exempt status of nonprofits without any oversight, effectively
crushing these organizations. We’ve seen how Trump uses any powers he has
(and doesn’t have) to suppress political dissent and punish political
enemies. This new power would threaten the entire movement fighting back
against Trump’s extreme right-wing agenda.

If this proposal is passed in the Republican budget bill, all the White
House would need to do is label an organization as “terrorist supporting”
— no evidence or real justification needed.^2 We know how Trump will abuse
this power.
Democracy Now has called this proposal the most dangerous domestic
anti-terrorism bill since the PATRIOT Act.^3
Demand Progress joined over 100 nonprofit organizations in a letter to
Congress opposing this reckless legislation when it was first introduced
last year. Now, as Republicans continue to pursue this democracy killing
bill, we urgently need to tell Congress that the country opposes this
legislation.

tool to Trump!
