Heritage Action, founded as Heritage Action for America, is a 501(c)4 nonprofit[2] conservative policy advocacy organization founded in 2010.[3] Heritage Action, which has affiliates throughout the United States,[4][5] is a sister organization of the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation.[5][6]
In October 2013, Heritage Action has been called a "powerhouse in a new generation of conservative groups" by HuffPost[7] and "perhaps now the most influential lobby group among Congressional Republicans" by The New York Times.[8][9]
In August 2013, Heritage Action launched a campaign to link stopping the Affordable Care Act (ACA), colloquially known as "Obamacare", with laws to keep the U.S. federal government open or to increase the federal debt limit. The organization played an instrumental role in the October 2013 government shutdown.
In 2020, Jessica Anderson was selected as the organization's executive director. Anderson took a leave of absence in July 2023 from her position at Heritage Action to work at an affiliated super PAC, Sentinel Action Fund.[10] In September 2023, Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation, was selected as president of Heritage Action, and serves "both organizations in a joint role.[11]
