Indiana Governor Mike Braun and Attorney General Todd Rokita are pushing to install a Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the Indiana Statehouse. This isn't just about stone and text—it's about blurring the line between religion and government.

The monument, which also includes the Bill of Rights, was previously blocked by a court injunction for violating the First Amendment's Establishment Clause. That clause exists to ensure our government doesn't favor one religion over another—or religion over non-religion. Now, Rokita and Braun are trying to overturn that injunction, citing recent Supreme Court rulings that undermine decades of legal precedent designed to protect religious freedom for all.

This move reflects a broader national trend of injecting religious symbols into public institutions, from courthouses to public schools. But the First Amendment still matters. And in a state as diverse as Indiana, our government must represent all of us—not just those who follow a particular faith tradition.

Government buildings must remain spaces where all Hoosiers, regardless of belief, feel equally represented and protected. The Ten Commandments are sacred to many, but they belong in houses of worship, not in front of our statehouse.

We call on the Indiana General Assembly and the courts to reject any effort to place the Ten Commandments monument on state grounds. Uphold the constitutional promise of religious freedom by keeping government and religion separate.

Sign this petition to tell Indiana’s leaders: Our laws are rooted in justice, not religious doctrine. Keep the Ten Commandments monument off Statehouse property.
