This bill is so bad that it’s been dubbed the “Nonprofit Killer”.

Here’s the rundown: H.R. 9495, the Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, 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.

With Trump returning to office in a matter of weeks, the chance he uses legislation like this to make good on his repeated promises to punish his political enemies and critics, possibly including Win Without War, is sky high.

That’s why we, alongside hundreds of civil liberties, religious, reproductive health, immigrant rights, human rights, racial justice, LGBTQ+, environmental, and educational organizations have been unequivocal in our opposition to H.R 9495.

We can’t overstate how important this legislative moment is, but the troubling reality is that it’s just the beginning of a whole new era. With a Republican-led Congress and Trump administration working hand-in-hand, we’re certain to see more bad bills like this in the new year. The good news? If the outcry from you is loud enough now, even MAGA Republicans may think twice about taking on — and hopefully losing — the same fight twice.

So here’s where you come in: Tell the Senate to reject H.R. 9495, and protect nonprofits and civil society from dangerous executive overreach.
