Sample phone/email message for you to customize, for your representative:
Hello, my name is _____ and I am from ____, zip code ______. I am calling/emailing to ask you to reject the Section 112209 provision in the tax reconciliation bill. This provision would grant the Treasury Secretary the ability to revoke the nonprofit status of an organization without due process.
While I strongly oppose terrorism and support efforts to protect national security, this measure lacks clear definitions and essential due process safeguards. It opens the door to political abuse, targeting of advocacy groups, and a chilling effect on vital community services – especially for nonprofits serving marginalized populations or engaging in policy advocacy.
Nonprofits are already highly regulated and fully transparent via IRS filing and public reporting requirements. This new authority is unnecessary, dangerous, and counterproductive.
I urge you to strike this provision from the reconciliation package to prevent irreversible harm to our nation’s civil society and democratic institutions.
