Apologies for the long post but this is important . . . You may have heard that Congress has been considering HR 9495, the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act. ?Under this law, the administration, through the Secretary of Treasury, can basically crush a nonprofit for views that don’t align with its own. This would be a dangerous tool in the administration’s hands to shut down and silence dissent. The bill was defeated in the House last week, but is expected to come up again this week. ?Even if you don’t work in a nonprofit or sit on a board, please call your representatives and tell them to vote no! ?Call your senators to implore them to filibuster this bill ?-- should it pass. ?Find your congressional representatives here https://lnkd.in/gskEDbEK #savethesocialsector
