In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Turning Point USA has seen an unprecedented surge of support, with 18,000 new chapter applications pouring in overnight—double the number of existing chapters at the time of his death.
Before the attack, the organization Kirk founded as a teenager had already grown into a powerhouse: 9,000 college chapters and 11 at the high school level. But following Erika Kirk’s emotional speech on Friday night—delivered just days after losing her husband—the movement exploded, not despite tragedy, but because of it.

Around the world, protests and rallies are being held in Kirk’s honor. From Berlin to Buenos Aires to South Korea, young people are marching not just for free speech or limited government, but to reclaim the values Kirk stood for—faith, courage, and truth in the face of political intimidation. Charlie's death has reminded us that he did not die in vain. This is the Turning Point-- the giant is awake.
Many are calling it “the real turning point”—a phrase that now means far more than it did when Kirk launched Turning Point USA in a garage in Illinois. His death didn’t silence the movement- it lit a fire in not only Americans, but people around the world.
Be careful. There are certainly some lefty plants in that number.
That makes no sense, lol. His death reminded us that he died. Okaaaaaayyyyy. 🧐
I just saw an update on Facebook that it is up to 32000 now.
Prayers that this be SUSTAINED and not just “flash in the pan”
(same prayer applies to every MAGA/MAHA measure)
My daughter is involved in one in gallatin tn
The Franklin vigil was ginormous!
My kids all went
My 10 year old granddaughter Loves the Lord and looks forward to church every Sunday. We can only hope and pray ,this generation will help save our nation .
Sure, they killed the man. Who is now with our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. I really feel sad for his family, but at least I believe Charlie Kirk is with the Lord.
Back to the topic, sure they killed the man.
However, they have supercharged his message and made it spread across the world. He had a Haka performed in New Zealand for him, in the anti-wokeness/pro-freedom demonstrations in London people were saying they’re all Charlie Kirk, his message has gone to places it would never have gone to.
So, they silenced the man. They assassinated the man.
But they supercharged the message, and helped it spread far and wide in a way it never would have.
Their mistake!
Not to mention that Charlie Kirk’s amazing wife has vowed to do all she can to make the message really grow.
If they knew better, they would not have harmed a hair of Charlie Kirk’s head.
I believe some people whispered much the same thing after the Son of Man was stapled to some wood.
Lift high the cross.
Exactly! What they thought was a win turned out to be a MAJOR loss.
