Stop the IRS from Silencing Nonprofits and Faith-Based Organizations
For too long, the IRS has controlled what nonprofits and faith-based organizations can say, threatening their tax-exempt status if they speak on certain issues. This government overreach is made possible by the Johnson Amendment, a law that restricts these organizations from engaging in speech that could be considered “political.”

This law silences nonprofits, religious groups, and faith leaders, forcing them to choose between honoring their mission or keeping their tax-exempt status. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech and religion, but the IRS has turned it into a weapon against organizations that serve their communities.

How the Johnson Amendment Silences Nonprofits and Faith-Based Organizations
Threat of Punishment – Organizations can lose their tax-exempt status if they say anything that could be seen as “political,” even when it aligns with their core values.
Government Interference – The IRS has the power to decide what nonprofits and faith-based groups can or cannot say, giving the government control over their message.
Chilling Effect – Many organizations self-censor, avoiding important topics out of fear of IRS retaliation.
Why This Must Stop
Nonprofits and faith-based organizations should be free to speak boldly on moral and social issues without government interference.
The IRS should not have the power to control speech or dictate what these organizations can say.
Religious freedom and free speech are fundamental rights—and the Johnson Amendment directly violates them.
