wELCOME TO THE PARTY!

It is with profound grief that we acknowledge the loss of Charlie Kirk, a remarkable leader whose voice gave strength to millions of conservatives and Christians across America. Charlie was not only a fearless advocate for liberty and faith, but one of the greatest champions of conservative values of our time. His vision, passion, and unshakable commitment to truth inspired a generation. May we all join together to pray for his wife Erika and the two young children he leaves behind, as well as all who loved him dearly.  

We unequivocally renounce political violence in all its forms. It is an attack not only on individuals, but on the very foundation of our democracy and freedom. Violence is never the answer, and those who seek to silence voices through hatred or fear will never prevail. 

To our young conservatives who looked up to Charlie: do not let this tragedy discourage you. Instead, let it fuel your determination. Honor Charlie’s legacy by carrying his torch forward defending your values with courage, engaging with conviction, and standing strong in your faith. The future of our movement and Nation depends on your resilience.  

Today, we continue the work Charlie dedicated his life to.  His voice may be silenced, but his message and legacy will live on.
