Turning Point Announces College Campus Tour Six Months After Charlie Kirk’s Death at Utah University

Turning Point USA has announced the This Is the Turning Point Tour, which will stop at college campuses nationwide, six months after Charlie Kirk was assassinated last year while speaking at Utah Valley University as part of his American Comeback Tour.

In an announcement shared Thursday, March 12, the organization — which was founded in 2012 by the late father of two — said that the upcoming tour is “aimed at preparing students with the tools to push back against leftist indoctrination and reclaim their right to speak freely without fear of censorship or retaliation.”

Charlie’s widow and current Turning Point USA CEO, Erika Kirk, is among the special guests scheduled to appear.

“Being the courageous generation that you are, stand up for the truth, defend life, love your family fearlessly, love your spouse fearlessly, love this country, defend her — and serve our God,” the mother of two, 37, said in a statement.

“And don’t think that it’s someone else’s role to do it,” she added. “You do it. Do it for Charlie.”

This Is the Turning Point Tour, which will visit campuses across the country, invites students to “courageously step up to the mic and carry forward the legacy and example set by Charlie Kirk,” the press release stated.

Current tour stops include George Washington University (with guests Erika and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt) on April 2; the University of Georgia (with guests Erika and Vice President JD Vance) on April 14; Ohio State University (with guests Vivek Ramaswamy, Lawrence Jones and Savannah Chrisley) on April 21; Baylor University (with guests Donald Trump Jr., border czar Tom Homan and Benny Johnson) on April 22; and the University of Idaho (with guests Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles) on April 28.

Additional stops will be announced in the coming weeks, and tickets can be purchased at TheTurningPointTour.com.

Charlie’s sudden death at age 31 on September 10, 2025, gained national attention after he was killed in broad daylight.

Erika — who shares two young children with her late husband — has spoken out numerous times following the death of the Stop, in the Name of God author.

“I want to encourage you to know and understand something that Charlie knew and understood so deeply,” she said in a speech at Fox Nation’s Patriot Awards in November. “He knew that evil wins when good people stay silent, and so for the rest of my life, I will make sure that I don’t stay silent.”
