Senate Declares October 14 a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk
Washington, D.C. — September 25, 2025 — In a historic move, the United States Senate has unanimously passed a resolution designating October 14—what would have been Charlie Kirk’s 32nd birthday—as the official “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.”
The resolution, announced Thursday, honors the life and legacy of Kirk, the conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, who was tragically assassinated last week while speaking to students at Utah Valley University.
Senate Honors Kirk’s Advocacy for Liberty and Faith
The resolution highlights Kirk’s lifelong dedication to free speech, faith, and individual liberty. Senators praised his ability to inspire a generation of young conservatives and to foster civic engagement across the nation.
The Senate text reads:
“Charlie Kirk consistently promoted the values of individual liberty, open debate, the importance of civic engagement, and the defense of constitutional principles.”
By declaring his birthday as a day of remembrance, lawmakers stated they hope to keep alive his vision for a more engaged and principled America.
Nationwide Recognition Planned
Across the country, supporters of Kirk and chapters of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) are preparing tributes for October 14. Events will include prayer vigils, campus lectures, and local gatherings celebrating Kirk’s mission to uphold the Constitution and defend free expression.
“This day will not only remember Charlie’s sacrifice but also continue the work he devoted his life to,” one Senate staffer said.
Funeral Arrangements Set for Sept. 21
Kirk’s funeral will take place Sunday, September 21, 2025, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The service is expected to draw an unprecedented crowd, with tens of thousands in attendance.
Scheduled speakers include President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Kirk’s wife Erika Kirk, Senators Marco Rubio, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Pete Hegseth, as well as Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump Jr., Tucker Carlson, Stephen Miller, and Sergio Gor.
Ongoing Investigation into Assassination
Meanwhile, the legal case against Tyler Robinson, the suspected gunman, continues. Robinson faces charges of aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, witness tampering, and commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child.
His next hearing is set for September 29 and will be held virtually.
A Legacy That Lives On
Though his life was cut short, the Senate’s declaration ensures that October 14 will serve as a permanent reminder of Charlie Kirk’s influence on American politics, culture, and the next generation of leaders.
“Charlie Kirk believed in America’s promise, and his legacy will continue to shape the national conversation for decades to come,” the resolution concluded.
