Vote NO on HR.9495.
Thank you for voting against HR.9495 when it came up before. Please continue to oppose it if it comes up again.
I am President of the Civil Rights Movement Archive, a California-based 501c3 NonProfit. HR.9495 grants a political appointee power to unilaterally declare that a nonprofit "supports terrorism" without due process or right of appeal. In the 1950s, similar state-level laws allowed Attorneys General in the South to unilaterally declare that the NAACP was a "subversive" organization and to then target the NAACP for destruction in retaliation for the Brown school desegregation decision. Trump/MAGA could use HR.9495 for political suppression and retaliation.
