H.R. 9495 is named, “Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act.” The bill’s title does not convey the full effect. It has the potential to grant the executive branch extraordinary powers, such as allowing it to investigate, harass, and, in effect, shutter any nonprofit organization based on unilateral accusations of wrongdoing. Congress rejected its passage on November 12, and it’s coming up for a second vote possibly today or tomorrow. MUUSJN joins the call from Unitarian Universalists for Social Justice (UUSJ) to contact our representatives and urge them to withhold support for this bill.
