We are not a party. We are real people.

And we are fed up with partisan politics.

That’s why we support common sense solutions and politicians who will work together, across the aisle. If you agree with us, you’re not alone. The majority of Americans today identify as independent. But our voices are not being heard.

At the Independent Center, we research, advocate, and actively engage independents to ensure our voices are heard in Washington, D.C. Join our movement today to show our leaders that independent-voting Americans matter.

Leadership

As the world’s largest economy and most vibrant democracy, America’s leadership has benefited its citizens throughout history. To secure our ambitions and dreams, we must strengthen our military and ensure its continued global advantage. Our economy and citizens' well-being are increasingly interdependent on strong international alliances and partnerships. The American Dream resonates worldwide, and we must actively work to uphold its ideals—empowering individuals and setting an example through the strength of our institutions and government.

Growth and Abundance

Growth and abundance are essential to improving quality of life and raising our standard of living. By fostering innovation and expanding opportunities, we enable Americans to pursue their dreams and achieve their goals. To stay competitive, we must embrace modernization, encourage competition, and support individual ambition. A thriving economy—driven by productivity, job creation, and entrepreneurship—provides the resources necessary for a prosperous and self-sustaining nation.

Civic Responsibility

Civic responsibility is the foundation of strong, resilient communities and a thriving nation. Each of us has a role to play in shaping our society. Safe, vibrant communities, volunteerism, and philanthropy should be supported—not replaced—by distant and impersonal government bureaucracy. Our greatest strengths lie in our commitment to social tolerance, religious freedom, and cultural diversity.

Human Dignity

Human dignity is rooted in the fundamental need for health, education, and safety at the individual, family, and community levels. Achieving this requires aligning economic growth, civic responsibility, and an effective government. Our future depends on a strong, healthy population and a sustainable environment that fosters opportunity and long-term prosperity.

Effective Government

An effective government is one that is smaller, focused, and fit-for-purpose. We must move away from an overburdened and overreaching bureaucracy that stifles progress. Addressing our mounting debt and deficit requires bold, strategic reforms to reimagine the role of government programs. A modernized, efficient government can enhance economic vitality and civic engagement while restoring public trust in our institutions.
