I’m writing to urge you to oppose H.R. 9495, the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act. This bill poses a direct threat to nonprofits by granting the Treasury Secretary unchecked power to label organizations as “terrorist supporting” and strip their tax-exempt status. Even worse, this can happen without evidence, intentional links, or any requirement to disclose the reasons for the designation. The lack of due process and accountability leaves nonprofits defenseless against vague and potentially politically motivated accusations. Please oppose H.R. 9495 to protect nonprofits and the communities they serve. Thank you
