Turning Point USA's surge of more than 32,000 new chapter inquiries proves Charlie Kirk's death ignited fresh passion for liberty. Students are eager to pick up the torch.
The next wave of student patriots is already knocking—our responsibility is to open the door with training and resources.
Momentum on campus
Within days, TPUSA's inbox overflowed with students asking how to start chapters. Many said they were previously hesitant but now feel compelled to stand up.
The left wanted Kirk silenced; instead, his absence created a vacuum young patriots intend to fill.
Requests are pouring in from trade schools, homeschooling co-ops, and military academies—proof that the hunger for principled leadership transcends traditional campuses.
Equip new leaders
TPUSA is rapidly deploying training resources, mentor networks, and legal support to help new chapters thrive.
Veteran activists should volunteer to coach these students, share best practices, and donate to cover travel and materials.
Regional summits are being scheduled monthly so that brand-new chapter leaders can collaborate and launch campaigns with momentum.
Sustain the growth
Initial enthusiasm must be matched with structure: regular meetings, community service, voter registration drives.
Parents and alumni can provide meeting spaces and sponsor trips to national conferences.
Business owners are stepping forward to fund internships and apprenticeships that keep these students grounded in real-world leadership.
Final Thought
When one voice is silenced, thousands more can rise. Help these students stay bold, informed, and anchored in truth.
