The 'nonprofit killer bill,' HR 9495, allows the Treasury secretary to strip tax-exempt status from any nonprofit deemed a 'terrorist-supporting organization' without due process.
This legislation, part of a broader bipartisan effort, poses a significant threat to dissent, especially affecting groups advocating for Palestine solidarity.
Despite the overwhelming support shown when its predecessor passed, the pushback from a coalition of nonprofits displayed the growing resistance against such legislation.
The fear is that this bill will be resurrected, particularly as Republican leverage may grow with control of both Congressional bodies in the future.
