There are no safeguards to prevent H.R. 9495’s broad authority from being misused to harass or intimidate organizations for exercising their rights.</p><p>"The bill includes no due process for organizations deemed to be supporting 'terrorist' groups. The Secretary of the Treasury can use 'classified information' to make these designations without permitting nonprofits to review or challenge such evidence in federal courts. The loss of tax-exempt status similarly has no due process guarantees and would inflict economic harm and legally burden nonprofit organizations.</p><p>"Amnesty International USA joins more than 100 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CivilSociety</span></a> groups, including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACLU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACLU</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BrennanCenter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrennanCenter</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicCitizen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicCitizen</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AFT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AFT</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NEA</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LCV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LCV</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CAP</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indivisible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indivisible</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NAACP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NAACP</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReproductiveFreedomForAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReproductiveFreedomForAll</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalWomensLawCenter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NationalWomensLawCenter</span></a> to oppose this legislation.</p><p>"'This bill, if it becomes the law, would not require officials to explain the reason for designating a group, nor does it require any evidence,' continued O’Brien. 'Members of Congress must recognize the danger posed and vote down this bill that could shrink civic space and silence civil society organizations.'"</p><p><a href="https://www.amnestyusa.org/press-releases/amnesty-international-usa-urges-no-vote-on-h-r-9495/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">amnestyusa.org/press-releases/</span><span class="invisible">amnesty-international-usa-urges-no-vote-on-h-r-9495/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopHR9495" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopHR9495</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalizingDissent</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CharacteristicsOfFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a></p>
