As you are likely aware, both chambers of the US Congress have passed a version of a sweeping tax reform bill. There are many reasons to oppose these proposals.
The two versions of tax reform contained very different proposals, and those differences are now being resolved before both chambers vote again. One of the issues being negotiated is the elimination a provision known as the Johnson Amendment, which prevents non-profits and houses of worship from endorsing political candidates. The Johnson Amendment is essential for non-profits to carry out their mission unencumbered by political influence.
It is Openlands' hope that that this and many other controversial provisions are removed from this tax reform plan before Congress votes again, but that will only happen if we contact our elected officials immediately.
