I want to say thank you to the thousands of Americans and other civil rights groups for their pivotal role in stopping the bill aimed at silencing nonprofits that support Palestinian human rights from passing the Senate this week.
The bill is still under consideration in the Senate and could advance at a later date. Please continue to vocally opposing this dangerous bill. Empowering a single official at the Treasury Department to circumvent the criminal justice system, declare any nonprofit organization ‘terrorist-supporting’, and strip away its non-profit status without due process would be incredibly dangerous for every charitable organization. No matter where you stand on any social, political or international issue, every American should oppose legislation that endangers civil liberties under the guise of national security. And that’s why CAIR is fighting this bill and calling on you to join us.
Please join me at CAIR in our mission to make the world a better place for everyone, by ensuring our elected officials are upholding American values of justice for all. Donate now
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Robert McCaw
Director
Government Affairs Department

P.S. The team is currently prepping to challenge two more bills next week that incorrectly expand the definition of antisemitism to include political speech about Israel. We could really use your help,
