Charlie Kirk, born October 14, 1993, was an American conservative activist, author, and media host who founded Turning Point USA to engage and organize young people around free-market ideas and limited government. Since launching the organization in 2012, he expanded its campus and youth outreach programs, developing it into a prominent national platform for conservative students and young professionals. Kirk hosted “The Charlie Kirk Show”, contributed commentary across national media outlets, and authored and co-authored several books and essays addressing political strategy, civic education, and public policy. As a public speaker, he focused on themes such as individual liberty, entrepreneurship, constitutional government, and civic engagement, and he frequently participated in debates, conferences, and campus events. Supporters continue to praise his energy and outreach to young voters; critics challenged his positions and tactics. Kirk played an active role in conservative organizing and political commentary up to his final breath at 12:23 pm on September 10, 2025.

Charlie is survived by his wife, Erika, and their two children.
