Nonprofits Are At The Core Of American Democracy. Now They’re Under Threat

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a bill that would allow the President to take away the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit organization that he determines is providing material support for terrorism. Although existing law already prohibits American nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) from supporting terrorism, the new bill would remove existing procedural safeguards, effectively allowing the President to shut down any organization based on his judgment alone. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Handing the President such a power threatens Americans’ basic freedoms in civil society.
