Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations).

Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members.

I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.

In comparison, a similar bill was brought up before the House earlier this year. There was much less organizing against it and it got further then.

Today’s vote was a very different story. The attention + organizing played a role.

If you can thank your rep for voting NO, please do so. It matters.
