Tell Congress to oppose H.R. 9495, which would give the executive branch the power to strip a U.S. nonprofit of its tax-exempt status without due process. This bill will chill nonprofit activity, endangering any organization that may be targeted by the administration. https://act.eff.org/action/tell-congress-not-to-weaponize-the-treasury-department-against-nonprofits

  Tell Congress Not To Weaponize The Treasury Department Against Nonprofits
  
  from @eff
  
  A dangerous bill that gives broad and easily abused new powers to the executive branch would allow the Secretary of Treasury to strip a U.S. nonprofit of its tax-exempt status. Nonprofits would not have a meaningful opportunity to defend themselves, and could be targeted without disclosing the reasons or evidence for the decision. Even if they are not targeted, the threat alone could chill the activities of some nonprofit organizations. Over 130 civil liberties, religious, reproductive health, immigrant rights, human rights, racial justice, LGBTQ+, environmental, and educational organizations signed a letter opposing the bill as written. Congress must not pass H.R. 9495, the so-called “Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act.”

  This is a bill intended to punish organizations that oppose Israel's ongoing genocide. Both parties have been bought and paid for by AIPAC. Both will do as AIPAC commands.
