A wide range of Minnesota nonprofits concerned about the impact of the tax bill currently being negotiated between the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives banded together to stage a media and social media blitz Tuesday.

About 30 nonprofits all sent out press releases stating each’s opposition to the bill being worked out by the Republican Congress. And many more took part in a Twitter thunderclap by sending out tweets at the same time.

Lawmakers are currently working out the differences between tax bills passed by the Senate and House before voting on a final version that could be sent to President Donald Trump to be signed.

Among the concerns expressed about the House and Senate bills by nonprofits are the potential impact on the deficit and possible cuts to health care and other services that could be used to pay for it.
