The assassination of Charlie Kirk has been a big talking point for the past week. Whether it’s people making fun of it or people mourning his death, but one undeniable thing is that it’s had a huge impact. Based on Turning Point USA’s latest announcement, it has proved that this movement has grown beyond its founder, Charlie Kirk with over 54,000 new chapter requests nationwide. That’s more than double the original life goal of 20,000 chapters set by Charlie Kirk. 

For many years, Kirk worked so hard building a network of young conservatives who would not only defend their beliefs but also challenge the mainstream media. His vision was simple: encourage the next generation with the confidence to speak up for what they believe in. Charlie Kirk’s influence is now ingrained in the DNA of the conservative youth movement. Whether one agrees or disagrees with his politics, the uprising of TPUSA is something not to ignore. The movement has become larger than the man himself, yet it remains inseparable from the foundation he laid for the next generation.
