About Us
Indie R is a network of independent liberty-lovers who are connected by a universal mission to secure America's freedoms and constitutional republic in the 21st century.
Founded in 2010, our organization creates an alternate space for unaffiliated Americans and political walkaways to build friendships, learn civics and become active in local politics.
Our DIY culture and emphasis on “We the People” breaks the mindset that civic participation are best managed by Big Parties. And that public discourse and policy is best divided along modern notions of Left versus Right, Liberal versus Conservative. Indie R's classical liberal view discards these labels as they do not help instruct and unify the public against the common threat of totalitarianism underlying Cancel Culture.
Hosted in various midtown Manhattan locations, our cosmopolitan yet unapologetically patriotic setting is also a popular destination for non-establishment candidates seeking the support of independents and other resourceful connections.
In addition to our professional and social networking events, Indie R maintains a few grassroots legislative projects for members interested in shaping state and local government.

No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions."
“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”
“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
“Liberty and order will never be perfectly safe, until a trespass on the Constitutional Provisions shall be felt with the same keenness that resents an invasion of the dearest rights;...”
