The #JohnsonAmendment has protected houses of worship from partisan pressure for 70+ years.

A new proposal backed by the Trump admin would let congregations endorse political candidates without losing tax-exempt status, opening the door to politics in the pulpit.

Researching the Johnson Amendment and coming to an understanding of what the religious broadcasters are demanding makes me want to scream. I did, in fact, scream.

(5 of 5) Guess I can't report the local church (& polling place) anymore for "Vote Right because God is watching you!" marquee warning. This is where it begins and ends. This is their core goal. One nation, under ONE Republican God. RESIST! #JohnsonAmendment #RepublicanChurchOfGod #Totalitarianism

(4of5) Totalitarianism is a toxic, waste eating machine that requires human feeding, persecution and eventually genocide to sustain itself. History demonstrates this and US Republicans are actively implementing it.

From @tnbrando.bsky.social, churches in the USA can now be more easily manipulated by MAGA or other political operatives (of any stripe), including sums of financial influence.

The IRS now no longer bars political speech in church

So the IRS Just Lets Churches Endorse Candidates. No Big Deal I Guess??? It's not a law, not a court ruling, and definitely not the end of democracy. But messing with the 70 year old Johnson Amendment is worth paying attention to.

No big deal—just the IRS quietly giving churches the green light to endorse political candidates during services. Get ready for some strange tithes & donations coming soon.

I.R.S. Says Churches Can Endorse Candidates From the Pulpit

“It basically tells churches of all denominations & sects that you’re free to support candidates from the pulpit…It also says to all candidates & parties, ‘Hey, time to recruit some churches.’”

#JohnsonAmendment
www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/u...

The #JohnsonAmendment prohibits nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations (like churches) from endorsing or opposing political candidates.

A new bill in Congress wants to eliminate it.

Contact your reps and tell them to reject this bill and keep churches out of our politics.

secular.org/actions/tell...

Protecting the Johnson Amendment and Nonprofit Nonpartisanship A charitable nonprofit may “not participate in, or intervene in ... any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.”

Republicans want to repeal the #JohnsonAmendment again. Bill introduced in House & Senate. This would free charities to engage in electioneering & donors to condition their donations on a charity's support of a particular political candidate or party. Bad www.councilofnonprofits.org/trends-and-p...

Also explains why its likely that the strong majority of nonprofits don't want to get rid of the #JohnsonAmendment which prohibits 501(c)(3) organizations from electioneering - imagine a big donor demanding that a charity publicly support their preferred candidate or else not receive their donation
