The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee has advanced a controversial proposal allowing the Treasury Secretary to unilaterally revoke the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit labeled a "Terrorist Supporting Organization." Critics argue this could harm countless nonprofits advocating for various social justice causes by deterring free speech and advocacy, particularly concerning marginalized groups. Furthermore, the proposal lacks necessary due process protections for affected organizations and raises concerns over the potential for abuse of power by the executive branch. The bill must be challenged as it moves through the legislative process.
The proposal places nearly unlimited discretion in the hands of the executive branch, posing an existential threat to nonprofits across the U.S.
This legislation aims to inhibit free speech, discouraging nonprofits from advocating for marginalized communities associated with any group labeled as terrorist.
