A right-wing plan is underway to use the guise of fighting terrorism to shut down over 100 progressive organizations in the US. This scheme, detailed in a report by the Capital Research Center, a think tank with ties to the Heritage Foundation, aims to revoke the 501(c)3 status of these groups and potentially prosecute their leaders. The report cites groups' language and stances on Hamas as evidence of 'pro-terrorism' activity, raising concerns about freedom of speech and the targeting of leftist organizations.
The coming year promises to be a dangerous time for progressive groups. Last month the House passed resolution 9495, which would grant the executive branch extraordinary powers to designate nonprofit organizations as terrorist supporting and thereby to revoke these organizations’ 5013 status unilaterally and without due process.
Today in the United States, the Capital Research Center is promoting a plan to shut down progressive opposition parties like the Democratic Socialists of America and to bring down a wide range of progressive organizations including the Center for Constitutional Rights, the Council on Islamic American Relations, the Movement for Black Lives, the National Lawyers Guild, Black Lives Matter, Students for Justice in Palestine, and Jewish Voice for Peace.
