Denounce the 52 Democrats Who Voted to Enable Trump's Attacks on Nonprofits
In a shocking and deeply disappointing move, 52 House Democrats just voted in support of a bill that would give Donald Trump unprecedented power to target nonprofits and strip them of their tax-exempt status. This bill would allow Trump’s Treasury Secretary to label organizations as “terrorist-affiliated” without due process—a direct threat to the charities, advocacy groups, and nonprofits that fight for justice, equality, and environmental protection.
Trump has repeatedly shown hostility toward organizations that challenge his agenda. With this new power, he could cripple nonprofits that support marginalized communities, defend civil rights, and advocate for progressive values. Voting for this bill was a betrayal of the very principles these Democratic lawmakers were elected to protect.
As Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible, put it, "If you're looking for a handy list of Democrats who have no f***ing clue what is about to hit and need their spines stiffened ASAP, this is a good place to start."
The House is expected to vote on this bill again as soon as soon as today. We need to make sure these 52 Democrats join the majority of other Democrats in standing with nonprofits against this dangerous and misguided legislation.
Tell Democrats: Don’t enable Trump’s attacks on nonprofits. Reject the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act if it comes up for another vote.
Here’s the full list of House Democrats who voted in favor of this bill:
Colin Allred (TX-32), Nikki Budzinski (IL-13), Yadira Caraveo (CO-8), Ed Case (HI-1), Kathy Castor (FL-14), Jim Costa (CA-21), Angie Craig (MN-2), Henry Cuellar (TX-28), Sharice Davids (KS-3), Don Davis (NC-1), Debbie Dingell (MI-6), Lois Frankel (FL-22), Jared Golden (ME-2), Vicente Gonzalez (TX-15), Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5), Josh Harder (CA-9), Jahana Hayes (CT-5), Steny Hoyer (MD-5), Marcy Kaptur (OH-9), Greg Landsman (OH-1), Susie Lee (NV-3), Mike Levin (CA-49), Kathy Manning (NC-6), Lucy McBath (GA-7), Grace Meng (NY-6), Gwen Moore (WI-4), Jared Moskowitz (FL-23), Frank Mrvan (IN-1), Donald Norcross (NJ-1), Frank Pallone (NJ-6), Jimmy Panetta (CA-19), Chris Pappas (NH-1), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-3), Pat Ryan (NY-18), Adam Schiff (CA-30), Brad Schneider (IL-10), Hillary Scholten (MI-3), Kim Schrier (WA-8), Brad Sherman (CA-32), Elissa Slotkin (MI-7), Eric Sorensen (IL-17), Greg Stanton (AZ-4), Haley Stevens (MI-11), Marilyn Strickland (WA-10), Tom Suozzi (NY-3), Emilia Sykes (OH-13), Shri Thanedar (MI-13), Norma Torres (CA-35), Ritchie Torres (NY-15), Juan Vargas (CA-52), Gabe Vasquez (NM-2), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25).
These Democrats have aligned themselves with Trump’s harmful agenda instead of standing up for the nonprofits that play a critical role in our democracy.
We call on these 52 Democrats to reverse course and stand up for nonprofits that serve the public good. It is unacceptable for Democrats to give Trump unchecked power to attack the organizations that protect our rights, serve our communities, and work tirelessly for a better world.
Sign this petition to denounce these Democratic lawmakers and demand that they stand with nonprofits when the bill comes up for another vote.
