A city in California will rename a street in honor of Charlie Kirk, the pro-life conservative speaker and activist who was assassinated.
Westminster City Council voted 4-1 this past week to rename a portion of All American Way as Charlie Kirk Way, honoring the late conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA as a champion of free speech and civic engagement.
The change applies to street signs along the section of All American Way between Westminster Boulevard and 13th Street, which runs parallel to the Vietnam War Memorial.
Kirk’s name will appear in 3-inch font below the official street name. City staff estimated the cost of purchasing and installing the new signs at around $3,000.
Mayor Chi Charlie Nguyen, a Republican running for Congress, brought forward the proposal to memorialize Kirk, who was fatally shot by a sniper at Utah Valley University in September. “This reflects the values that make Westminster truly special: pride in our country, belief in our freedom and the spirit of civic engagement,” Nguyen said.
Kirk, a prominent pro-life advocate and vocal supporter of conservative causes, rose to national prominence through his organization, which mobilized young voters against abortion and for limited government. The renaming recognizes his lifelong commitment to protecting unborn life and fostering patriotic discourse, values that resonated deeply in the Republican-leaning city in this solidly Democrat state.
Councilmember Amy Phan West, who supported the measure, introduced a separate proposal for an annual Charlie Kirk Day.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to recognize Charlie Kirk as an American patriot and a steadfast champion for freedom of speech,” West said. “His commitment to protecting the principle of open dialogue and opposing tyranny has been a significant impact on our nation’s conversation.”
The decision drew opposition from Vice Mayor Carlos Manzo, the council’s lone Democrat, who argued the move exploited Kirk’s death for political gain. “That’s what you’re doing — exploiting a tragedy for political gain,” Manzo said.
Several residents also protested during the meeting, calling for recognition of local figures instead. Resident Tami Hammell criticized the use of tax dollars.
Supporters, however, hailed the tribute as a fitting legacy for Kirk’s pro-life activism and efforts to engage youth in defending traditional values. The council’s approval underscores Westminster’s embrace of Kirk’s enduring influence on conservative principles.

Great gesture, though it’ll probably be a constant target of vandals. Might be an opportunity for some patriots to do some educating.
I hope it’s a good shortcut so the libtards will have to drive a lot further to avoid it.
In California of all places?
Yea but why do I get the feeling this would be a better street to live on than Martin Luther King BLVD?
It sounds like a stretch to say democrats celebrate school shootings and school murders but in this case they actually do.
Many democrats would rather watch a conservative die than to put a nickel in the jukebox.
Westminster is Orange County, still some Conservatives left in the OC
“Westminster is Orange County, still some Conservatives left in the OC”
Orange county is the home of one of the wokest organizations in the US...Disneyland. It’s like putting a cross in hell.

Didnt used to be that way but they flooded the area with a lot if illegals and of course cheating which is why we “Lost” some house seats last November, after 4 weeks of “Counting” the votes of course
And so it begins …
I predict Charlie Kirk streets won’t become the unsafe areas of town as did most every MLK street.
Westminster has a heavy Vietnamese-American population.
“”Westminster is Orange County, still some Conservatives left in the OC””
Add Huntington Beach with some sensible politicians - now to pick off Irvine....OC is not what it used to be but perhaps it will turn around and hopefully won’t elect that crazy woman running for governor...
