Whereas Charlie Kirk became one of the most prominent 
voices in America, engaging in respectful, civil discourse 
across college campuses, media platforms, and national

Whereas Charlie Kirk personified the values of the First 
Amendment, exercising his God-given right to speak free-

courage, and respect for his fellow Americans; 
Whereas Charlie Kirk’s commitment to civil discussion and 
debate stood as a model for young Americans across the 
political spectrum, and he worked tirelessly to promote 
unity without compromising on conviction; 
Whereas the assassination of Charlie Kirk was not only a hei-
nous act of violence, but a sobering reminder of the grow-

society; 
Whereas such acts of politically motivated violence are anti-
thetical to the principles of a free republic, in which dif-

media, and beyond—must stand united in unequivocal 
condemnation of political violence, regardless of their ide-
ology;

Whereas the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk must not be allowed 
to deepen the divides in our Nation, but instead serve as 
a turning point to recommit ourselves to better angels, 
and to the timeless American principles of liberty gov-
erned by truth and the virtues of peaceful dialogue; and 
Whereas Charlie Kirk would not have us respond to his death 
with despair, but rather with renewed purpose—to speak 
truth with courage, to stand firm in faith, to seek unity 
while standing firm in principle, and to serve as living re-
minders of the values he championed: faith, family, and 
freedom: Now, therefore, be it
