A Call to Action: Nonprofits Unite Against Presidential Retaliation
A broad coalition of nonprofit and nonpartisan organizations has issued an open letter condemning what they call unconstitutional attacks by the Trump administration on charitable groups. Signatories include the National Council of Nonprofits, Public Citizen, State Democracy Defenders Fund, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the ACLU, and Americans Against Government Censorship.
The letter denounces efforts to defund and discredit organizations critical of the administration as a dangerous abuse of power. “No president—Democrat or Republican—should be able to punish nonprofits for their views,” it reads. “That’s not governance. It’s political retribution.”
Representing causes from healthcare and civil rights to environmental protection, the coalition warns that silencing dissent threatens the Constitution and the communities nonprofits serve.
“Our mission is service. Our power is in our voice. And we refuse to be silenced,” the letter declares.
Organizations are invited to join the growing list of signatories.
