Charlie Kirk, born in Arlington Heights (Illinois) in 1993, has established itself as one of the most influential figures of American evangelical conservatism. At 18, he founded Turning Point usa/”>usa/”>usa/”>usa/”>usa/”>usa/”>USA (June 2012), an organization aimed at mobilizing youth around traditional, capitalist and Christian values. Quickly at the head of Tpusa, he transformed the movement into a militant machine involving tens of thousands of young people, especially through social networks and evangelical campaigns on campuses.
From 2015, Kirk joined Studens for Trump and then, in 2019, launched Turning Point Action to extend preservative lobbying. He publishes several books, animates his podcast “The Charlie Kirk Show” and multiplies the appearances in the conservative media, while developing Turning Point Faith (2021), a branch aimed at organizing the commitment of pastors and churches in politics and society. The objective: to defend the evangelical Christian values head on progressivism and encourage Christian civic action throughout the territory.
A assertive Evangelical, Kirk is positioned against abortion, militates for the right to carry weapons, to freedom of religious expression, and fight against the indifferentiation of sexualities. He systematically opposes discourse contemptuous Christian faith in public space, participating in the polarization of debates in contemporary America. Its central message is that Christian youth must be organized to preserve culture, biblical values and evangelical influence in modern society.
Charlie Kirk runs Turning Point Faith from 2021, organizing mobilization campaigns that affect thousands of pastors and churches across the United States, with an estimated budget at $ 6.4 million. It becomes a strategist of the Christian Nationalism and attracts both the support of President Trump and that of major religious personalities. He is also involved in the standing for Freedom Center (Liberty University), co -founded with Jerry Falwell Jr., to strengthen Christian public action.
On September 10, 2025, while he was hosting a meeting on the Utah Valley University campus in Orem (Utah), Kirk was murdered with a distance from a roof at 12:20. He died in the hospital a few hours later. His death causes a shock wave among the evangelicals and the conservatives; President Donald Trump pays tribute to him, welcoming his commitment and influence to Christian youth, while the authorities announce the opening of a federal investigation. The assassination is qualified as a targeted attack for political purposes.
Kirk leaves behind a lasting imprint: he will have shaped evangelical Christian activism on a national scale and encouraged an entire generation to commit to defending faith and Christian values in the public sphere.
