STOP the Bill to Shut Down Nonprofits!

We must stop a dangerous bill moving through Congress that would allow the Trump Administration to shut down organizations that disagree with him – like Food & Water Watch.

The budget reconciliation bill’s tax section, recently passed by the House Ways and Means Committee, would allow the Treasury Secretary under the Trump Administration to silence organizations by revoking their tax-exempt status with little oversight. This could have a chilling effect, stripping funding for organizations that oppose Trump, whose voices will be more important than ever over the next four years.

Urge your members of Congress to protect nonprofits that oppose Trump by stopping this dangerous bill!

I urge you to oppose the budget reconciliation bill that includes a tax section from the House Ways and Means Committee that would give the Treasury Secretary under the Trump Administration and future administrations the power to revoke the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit organization accused of supporting terrorism, even if there's no clear proof or legal case. This would allow the Trump Administration to use this provision broadly to silence organizations that oppose his agenda. 
 
This bill could have a chilling effect on the entire nonprofit sector. It could discourage nonprofits from tackling controversial topics, particularly in regions where political tensions are high. The potential for being unfairly targeted could silence many groups that provide critical support to vulnerable communities.

This is a dangerous bill that gives the executive branch too much authority to revoke a nonprofit's tax-exempt status based on accusations before any trial or due process. This could have serious consequences for the organizations we all rely on to make the world a better place.

I urge you to oppose this dangerous budget reconciliation bill. We need you to help protect our democracy and prevent political targeting of nonprofits and the vital work they do without the fear of being unfairly shut down.
