In the days since founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated on a college campus, Turning Point Action has channeled grief into purpose by doubling down on its voter registration mission.
By midweek, the push was already visible on multiple fronts. On Wednesday, the group welcomed a training class of Chase The Vote representatives, who will fan out into communities to register voters and drive turnout.
That same day, Turning Point USA’s campus tour rolled into Virginia Tech University, where Gov. Glenn Youngkin and media personality Megyn Kelly headlined an event that drew lines of supporters and energized young voters.
The most visible show of force came on Sunday, when thousands gathered at State Farm Stadium for Kirk’s memorial. The over five-hour program doubled as a rallying point for political activism, as 500 volunteers with the organization’s political arm fanned out along the security lines with clipboards and registration forms, determined to turn mourning into mobilization.
“We decided it’s no question, we need to register as many voters while we’re there,” Turning Point Action Chief Operating Officer Tyler Bowyer told the Washington Examiner in an interview days after Kirk’s death. “We estimate that about 30 percent of people there have expired voter registration or just not registered at all.”
