The proposed legislation, often labeled the 'nonprofit killer,' allows presidential administrations to revoke organizations' nonprofit status without due process, targeting those that advocate for Palestinian rights. Critics argue this undermines free speech rights and disproportionately affects Muslim and Arab advocacy groups. The proposal, linked to Republicans' tax initiatives, could pass with a simple majority, raising serious constitutional concerns among civil society experts. The bill, previously voted on in the House, passed mainly with Republican support, suggesting a political motive behind its revival.
Opponents argue that the bill threatens foundational free speech rights, especially against pro-Palestine advocacy, opening the door for political suppression.
By labeling organizations as 'terrorist supporting,' the bill grants administrations unprecedented power to strip nonprofits of their status, risking their very existence.
