Washington, D.C. – On September 19, 2025, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution establishing October 14, 2025, as the “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk,” coinciding with the late conservative activist’s birthday. The decision, led by Senator Rick Scott of Florida, honors Kirk’s legacy following his assassination on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University. The resolution, which passed without opposition, recognizes Kirk’s contributions to civic education and public service, encouraging educational institutions and citizens to observe the day.

Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was a pivotal figure in mobilizing young conservative voters and shaping political discourse. His death, ruled a targeted attack, has galvanized calls for unity and remembrance. Senator Scott, a close ally, stated, “Charlie dedicated his life to the idea that the power of our ideas can start a movement.” The House of Representatives had already approved a similar measure, reflecting bipartisan grief. As October 14 approaches, the nation prepares to honor Kirk’s enduring impact on American politics.
