Charlie Kirk was a remarkable individual who touched the lives of countless people across our nation with his dedication, conviction, and unwavering faith. On September 10, 2025, Charlie was assassinated while exercising one of the most fundamental American rights: the freedom of speech. He was taken from us for speaking openly, honestly, and courageously in the face of opposition. His death is a sobering reminder that the fight for open dialogue and civil liberty is ongoing — and that he gave his life for that cause.

Charlie’s influence extended far and wide as he devoted his life to advocating for values that resonated deeply with millions of Americans. His faith and convictions were at the core of everything he did, guiding him in his mission to defend free expression, bring people together, and challenge others to think critically. His leadership, courage, and steadfast resolve inspired people of all ages to engage in dialogue about the most pressing issues of our time.

Just as America honors the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for his fearless advocacy of civil rights, Charlie Kirk must be remembered as a civil rights leader in his own right — a man who sacrificed everything for the cause of free speech. He stands as a martyr for liberty, joining the ranks of those who gave their lives so others might speak, think, and live freely.

In memory of Charlie Kirk’s extraordinary contributions, we propose establishing October 14, Charlie’s Birthday, as National Charlie Kirk Day. This holiday would honor his legacy, celebrate his achievements, and serve as a reminder of the power of free speech and the responsibility we all bear to protect it. Recognizing this day nationwide would enable us to reflect on Charlie’s enduring impact and encourage future generations to inherit his spirit of service, courage, and commitment to liberty.

Join us in honoring the legacy of a man who meant so much to so many, who stood as a beacon of courage and conviction, and who gave his life for the principle that all Americans should be free to speak their minds. Let us commemorate his life and work by ensuring that National Charlie Kirk Day becomes a reality. Sign this petition to show your support and help preserve the memory of Charlie Kirk for generations to come.
