Urgent calls needed to stop H.R. 9495

Urgent calls needed to stop H.R. 9495

November 18, 2024

The fight to resist Trump’s new administration has already started, and Congress needs to hear from us before they vote on H.R. 9495 this week. Can you make a call now to stop this dangerous bill?


Last week, we helped block H.R. 9495 — a bill that would give Trump the power to investigate and effectively shut down any tax-exempt organization, including nonprofits like Bend the Arc.

But now it’s back and it only needs a simple majority to pass this time. Our members of Congress need to hear from us, urgently, before they vote again this week.

Use our easy tool to make a call today: Tell your Rep. to vote NO on H.R. 9495 and protect our ability to organize and dissent under the incoming Trump administration.

As members of Congress on both sides of the aisle feel pressure to fall in line for Trump, we need to remind them that the right to dissent is key to our democracy.

Last week, 52 Democrats shamefully voted Yes on the bill, but there is time for them to vote the right way this week. The vote is going to be close — that’s why ALL of our Reps. need to hear from us now.

Calls take just a few minutes, and they work. Last Monday, we heard only 50 House Democrats were prepared to vote “no” on the bill. By Tuesday, because of our movement’s pressure, we got that number up to 144.

We need your voice now: tell your member of Congress to vote NO on H.R. 9495 using our call tool and script.

Thank you for your urgent action.
