Call Script
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
[Updated 11.17.2024] HR. 9495 threatens pro-democracy groups with being branded as terrorists, crushing dissent and threatening groups like Indivisible. It appears to have been reintroduced - please vote NO on this dangerous bill.
Background
From ACLU:
In a clear reaction to pro-Palestine protests, the House might pass legislation that would hand the government a dangerous tool to stifle free speech and punish disfavored groups. We must take action. This bill (H.R. 9495) gives the executive branch the authority to effectively dismantle any nonprofit organization it deems to have provided "material support" to terrorist groups and the potential for abuse under this law is staggering.
