BJC Executive Director Amanda Tyler and Rabbi David Saperstein explain why they are thankful that President Trump has so far been unsuccessful in his promise to repeal the Johnson Amendment.
In a letter to Congress, the BJC and more than 100 other organizations urged lawmakers not to use funding legislation to weaken Johnson Amendment protections.
Language severely undermining the Johnson Amendment was dropped from the final tax bill, but opponents are vowing to continue the repeal effort, even seeking to have it slipped into unrelated legislation.
The BJC’s Amanda Tyler responds to news that the final tax bill removes troubling language from the House version that would have politicized houses of worship.
The fight for Johnson Amendment protections is not over. The BJC has provided a helpful guide to assist you in contacting your Senators and Representative today to let your voice be heard!
