Tell your Senator to OPPOSE H.R. 9495 to Stop Trump From Attacking Dissenting Organizations
On 11/21, the House passed H.R. 9495, a bill that would give the incoming Trump administration unchecked power to shut down any non-profit organization that stands in the way of his MAGA agenda. Now, the bill is going to the Senate for consideration.
Under this legislation, Trump’s Treasury Department could indiscriminately label any non-profit organization – think tanks, human rights groups, civil liberties orgs, universities, student groups, even Indivisible Civics – a “terrorist supporting organization” and strip it of its tax-exempt status. This bill requires no oversight. No due-process. No justification. Trump could use it to shut down any and all dissent against him.
This vote is a litmus test for Democrats as we prepare for the incoming Trump administration: are Democrats going to make it easier for Trump to pursue his authoritarian agenda, or are they going to fight back?
Senate Democrats must vote NO on H.R. 9495 – and oppose any bill that it’s attached to as an amendment – to send a clear message to Trump that they will not just give in to his power grabs.

Trump should not be given unchecked power to shut down dissenting organizations: Vote NO on H.R. 9495
Hello, I’m a constituent from [part of state], and I’m calling to ask [Senator] to vote against H.R. 9495 and oppose attaching it to any other legislation.
The bill would give the incoming Trump administration unchecked power to threaten and shut down any dissenting nonprofit organization by declaring them a “terrorist supporting organization” without having to provide any evidence or justification.
Even if this wasn’t the intent of the bill, it would be used by Trump to silence dissent and further this authoritarian agenda.
I expect my Senator to stand up against authoritarianism - not rubber stamp it. With Trump about to be President, it’s outrageous to hand him even more power right now.
Tell [Senator] that I am deeply concerned that this bill could be used to target any non-profit organizations that Trump dislikes and let them know that I expect them to vote NO on H.R. 9495.
Your call to oppose handing Trump more power makes all the difference! Tell all your friends to call as well!
