Protecting Nonprofits and Our Voice
Tell your Representative in the House to vote NO on HR 9495
Congress is voting this Thursday on a bill so dangerous it could destroy the very organizations that fight for our rights and freedoms.
H.R. 9495 gives the Treasury Secretary unchecked power to strip nonprofit organizations of their tax-exempt status.
No oversight, no explanations, no due process.
It’s being marketed as a way to combat terrorism, but let’s be real: the true goal is silencing dissent.
Under this bill, groups like Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, or even student-led organizations could be labeled as “terrorist-supporting” and shut down for simply opposing an administration’s agenda. Imagine what happens if Trump gets this power—or any president who sees nonprofits as enemies.
Here’s the deal: over 250 members of Congress voted for this bill in the past. Fifty-two of them were Democrats. This time, it only needs a simple majority to pass.
We can’t let that happen.
Why Your Voice Matters
If we don’t stop this now, it could be attached to must-pass legislation and become nearly impossible to defeat. Worse, it sends a message that Congress is willing to hand unprecedented power to anyone in the White House.
Our representatives need to hear from us. We need to remind them:
• Nonprofits are essential to our democracy.
• Free speech should never be silenced by political retaliation.
• We’re paying attention, and we’ll hold them accountable.
What You Can Do
It’s simple: call your representative and demand they vote NO on H.R. 9495. Let them know you expect them to fight for us, not to empower authoritarian agendas.

from provided the following script:Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is _______.
I want the Congressmember to vote NO on H.R. 9495, the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act. This bill has some good provisions, but it also enables the Treasury Secretary to revoke the tax-exempt status of any organization he or she deems to be working with terrorists. It will lead to abuse by the Trump administration. Block it, please. Thanks.
This bill is a fight for our voice, our rights, and our future. Together, we can stop it.
Let’s get to work,
