No Funds for Fascists Act

Bill 119 HR 1619, also known as the "Free Speech Protection Act," aims to prevent the United States from providing assistance to foreign governments that violate the right to free speech. This bill specifically targets countries that restrict speech that would be protected under the US Constitution.

The bill prohibits any form of assistance, including aid provided under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, to governments that infringe upon the freedom of speech. This includes any actions taken by foreign governments to censor or suppress speech that would be considered protected under the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

The purpose of this legislation is to promote and protect the fundamental right to free speech on a global scale. By withholding assistance from countries that violate this right, the United States aims to send a strong message in support of freedom of expression and democracy. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1619 seeks to hold foreign governments accountable for their actions regarding free speech and to ensure that US assistance is not used to support regimes that suppress this fundamental right.
