The Statement of Purpose We, the undersigned, stand in firm opposition to the recent wave of federal and state-level policies that redefine "domestic terrorism" to target political dissent. By equating civil disorder, organized protest, and specific ideologies with terrorism, these laws bypass the constitutional right to due process and create a framework for state-sponsored political persecution. Specific Legislative Targets for Repeal We demand the immediate rescission and opposition of the following: • NSPM-7 (National Security Presidential Memorandum-7): Issued on September 25, 2025, this federal directive treats "organized doxing," "trespass," and "civil disorder" as domestic terrorism. It explicitly targets ideologies like "anti-capitalism" and "anti-fascism" while protecting "traditional American views," creating a two-tiered justice system based on political alignment.

 • Florida HB 1471 (Systems of Law and Terrorist Organizations): Signed into law in April 2026, this bill allows the state to administratively dissolve corporations and nonprofits designated as "domestic terrorist organizations" by political appointees, bypassing the court system.

 • Expansion of 18 U.S.C. § 2331(5): We oppose the weaponized interpretation of the federal domestic terrorism definition to include non-violent "intimidation" of a civilian population during political rallies or campus protests. • Executive Designations of Civil Rights Groups: We condemn the use of state executive orders (such as those in Texas and Florida) that attempt to label established civil rights organizations like CAIR as "terrorist-affiliated" without a criminal conviction.

 Our Demands 1 Judicial Oversight: Prohibit any government entity from "designating" a domestic group as a terrorist organization without a unanimous jury verdict in a criminal court. 2 Protection of Nonprofits: Cease the use of the IRS and Treasury Department to strip tax-exempt status from advocacy groups based on the ideological definitions found in NSPM-7. 3 Academic Freedom: Repeal provisions in HB 1471 that mandate the expulsion of students or the firing of faculty for "promoting" organizations that the state has unilaterally deemed "terrorist."

 Why This Matters These laws aren't about safety—they are about labels. By calling a protester a "domestic terrorist," the state can: • Freeze bank accounts without a trial. • Deny public employment and government contracts to anyone who donated to a "designated" group.

 • Use enhanced surveillance (intended for foreign threats) on American citizens. Sign this petition to tell our leaders: Political dissent is a right, not a crime. Stop the weaponization of terror laws today
