FEATURING JENNA RUDDOCK - The U.S. House of Representatives in late November 2024 passed a dangerous piece of legislation that many are calling the “nonprofit killer” bill. In Spring 2024, when the bill was discussed as a means to silence pro-Palestinian activism, dozens of House Democrats supported it.
But, after Donald Trump’s White House win, some Democrats initially blocked HR 9495 on a technicality amid fears that the incoming president would use it as a tool to bludgeon his perceived enemies. It was then reintroduced, voted on with significantly less Democratic support, but passed.
Many contend it should never have been introduced to begin with, no matter the political winds of the time, and that what’s needed to preserve the health of U.S. democracy is the PRESS Act.
