People in Iran could get more help accessing the internet, avoiding surveillance, and organizing safely. The bill also tells the U.S. to take Iranian government funds under U.S. control and use them for aid, strike support, abuse documentation, and internet freedom work. It also requires plans on sanctions, defections, and a possible terrorist label for Iran’s intelligence ministry.

Latest action on H.R. 2614: Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, Financial Services, and Intelligence (Permanent Select), for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people in Iran who face censorship, surveillance, and political repression. It also affects U.S. agencies that would have to build and run these programs, and companies or nonprofits that may offer internet and communication tools under U.S. sanctions rules. Iranian government bodies and people tied to them could also face tougher financial and legal pressure.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it tries to help people in Iran stay informed, communicate safely, and resist government control. If it works, people could have more ways to get around shutdowns, share news, and protect themselves from hacking or spying. It also changes how the U.S. could use frozen Iranian government assets by letting that money support aid, strike activity, and records of abuse. The bill could widen U.S. pressure on the Iranian government, but the real effect would depend on how well these plans work and how Iran responds.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
