Heritage Action has been working around the clock to support conservatives in Congress as they continue combating malign influences on American soil. Here’s a rundown of some of the big-ticket items that Heritage Action has recently endorsed:
Revoking the NEA’s Congressional Charter:
In a resounding stand for parental rights and academic standards, Rep. Mark Harris (R-North Carolina) and Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee) have introduced legislation to combat the destructive influence of the National Education Association (NEA). Their move comes as the NEA has continued to prioritize political activism over students’ academic progress.
This proposal would formally remove the NEA’s federal charter, granted in 1906. While not dismantling the union, the repeal would strip the NEA of its unique congressional stamp of approval, striking a devastating blow to the influence of woke politics on the education system.

Securing our Universities:
With the border now secured by the Trump administration, our attention should be turning to address other aspects of interior enforcement of immigration law, such as the abuse of student visas. While foreign nationals from hostile countries like China and Iran flooded across the border under the failed Biden administration, for decades, these same countries have used student visas to infiltrate America’s institutions of higher education. Thankfully, Senator Tuberville’s (R-Alabama) Student Visa Integrity Act would put an end to this.
We have repeatedly seen Chinese students in particular steal intellectual property and serve as spies within our top institutions. This poses a direct threat to the United States, our schools, educators, and our students. We must put an end to this.
Designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a Terrorist Organization:
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) introduced the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025 to formally designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). This legislation represents a long-overdue step to confront the threat of Islamic extremism.
The Muslim Brotherhood has a long history of promoting radical Islamist ideology. They fuel violence and provide ideological inspiration to vicious jihadist groups including Hamas and al-Qaeda — and they are freely operating in the U.S. If this bill is signed into law, it would empower law enforcement to cut off their terrorist funding networks, block affiliated individuals from entering the country, and dismantle their influence within American institutions.
