Civil Society Letter to House Opposing H.R. 9495 [1]

[]

Date: 2024-11

A coalition of over 120 civil liberties, religious, reproductive health, immigrant rights, human rights, racial justice, LGBTQ+, environmental, and educational organizations wrote to The House of Representatives on September 20, 2024, urging opposition to H.R. 9495.

The diverse group expressed deep concerns about the bill's potential to grant the executive branch extraordinary power to investigate, harass, and effectively dismantle any nonprofit organization — including news outlets, universities, and civil liberties organizations like ours — of tax-exempt status based on a unilateral accusation of wrongdoing.
