Rabble on Nostr: The government should not have the unilateral power to shut down legally operating ...
The government should not have the unilateral power to shut down legally operating non-profits simply because it disagrees with them. A vibrant, open democracy depends on the freedom for diverse organizations to exist and express different perspectives. The suppression of opposition groups is precisely the kind of action that erodes democratic values, as we’ve seen in countries like Hungary and Turkey, where shutting down dissenting organizations was a key step in dismantling democratic institutions and consolidating authoritarian power.
URGENT FOR US based folks: Tell your reps to vote NO on H.R. 9495! This dangerous bill would give the Trump administration unilateral power to label any non-profit as terrorist supporting and shut it down without due process. Learn more here:
