H.R. 9495, Dealing with Tax Exemptions for Nonprofit Organizations

November 21, 2024 | H.R. 9495

The ability to revoke tax-exempt status and thereby hamstring or put out of commission any nonprofit organization based on accusations without evidence or without a fair hearing would set a dangerous precedent, allowing the government to stifle dissent and for officeholders to punish critics, chilling freedom of speech and association. It is through the exercise of these freedoms that working people organize, collectively bargain and petition their government. 

It is precisely at a time when the incoming president-elect has identified various American citizens and American institutions as “enemies of the people” or “enemies from within” that Congress should be especially circumspect about expanding executive power, especially power that lacks real due process for Americans and their organizations, including their unions.
