TPUSA Receives 32,000 New Chapter Requests After Kirk Assassination

Following the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) co-founder and CEO Charlie Kirk, the organization has experienced an extraordinary surge in support, receiving over 32,000 inquiries to start new campus chapters within 48 hours. TPUSA currently has around 900 official college chapters and 1,200 high school chapters, with a presence on approximately 3,500 campuses, and aims to establish a high school chapter in every American high school. The influx of interest has been fueled in part by a powerful speech from Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, who urged young people to continue and expand the movement. This surge represents not only a national but global response, with rallies and protests in honor of Kirk’s legacy taking place worldwide. President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend Kirk’s funeral, underscoring the close alignment between TPUSA and the MAGA movement. Organizers and supporters view this response as a pivotal moment that will accelerate the realization of Kirk’s vision for conservative youth activism.
