I encourage every American reading this article to call their district representative and let them know that you do not approve of this bill. It's hateful and cruel; and I fear that if it passes, it will pave the way for similar, wider reaching, legislation.

I called my Representative earlier today and their intern was able to tell me the bill number: H.Res.1579. Knowing the number should hopefully make it easier to voice your disgust in this abhorrent bill.

While on the phone (or email) with your Representative, I encourage everyone to voice their displeasure with H.R.9495 as well. H.R.9495 will allow the executive branch to unilaterally declare non-profits as terrorist organizations and strip them of their non-profit status. This would functionally give the executive branch authority to end any non-profit that is engaging in activities they don't approve of, which would likely result in the destruction of any non-profit engaging in harm reduction.
