About Save Heritage Indiana
Origin story
How We Started
We’re friends who realized the world we grew up in is being destroyed.
We each came to this in different ways. Maybe you went back to your hometown and it was filled with strangers or you’ve noticed kids don’t play outside anymore.
We asked: “Who represents Hoosiers who want to preserve our way of life?” No one. If we don’t, our home will be erased. We are banding together to take back our state. This is what thousands of patriots are waiting for.
Will you fight with us?
Values
What We Stand For
Hoosier Pride
Indiana’s heritage is worth preserving.
Responsibility
Each of us has a duty to protect our communities, state, and Republic.
Law & Order
Enforce existing immigration laws thoroughly and fairly.
Leadership
Indiana will be the national example for wise immigration laws.
Stewardship
We are fighting for our grandchildren.
Mission
Why We Exist
We exist to save Indiana’s heritage by reversing mass migration. We will do this by mobilizing the grassroots to enact effective state and local level policy changes.
The Problem. Indiana’s identity is eroding under mass migration and weak enforcement. Local communities shoulder the cost while politicians avoid hard votes.
Our Plan. Build a disciplined grassroots machine that drives state and county policy. All paired with relentless public pressure and media.
Support
Voices Who Inspire Us
We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.
A nation that does not protect its borders is not a nation.
We are committing national suicide by not controlling our borders.
We stand in this tradition - defending Indiana’s people and heritage against the forces that would erase them.
Proven Experience
What We’ve Built
Prior track record: one of our co-founders previously built a statewide grassroots nonprofit from scratch. Over five years, that effort grew to more than 7,000 supporters on the email list and more than 500 recurring monthly donors.
