The U.S. Senate has passed a measure to establish a “National Day of Remembrance” in honor of Charlie Kirk.
The new resolution designates Oct. 14, 2025, Kirk’s birthday, as a day for Americans to remember the Turning Point USA founder’s contributions to debate and civic engagement, Fox News reported.
Along with commending his contributions to civic education and public service, the order also encourages educational institutions, civic groups, and the public to observe the day with prayers and ceremonies that promote faith, liberty and civic duty.
“Charlie dedicated his life to the idea that the power of our ideas can not only win the day, but start a movement. That’s exactly what he did,” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., who announced the designation of the resolution on Sept. 16, told the Senate floor on Thursday.
“We have the opportunity to carry on his memory by believing in the power of our ideas, discussion, and the values of our nation,” he continued. “As we mourn this massive loss, let us gather together in our communities and pray for his family and our nation. And let us honor Charlie by believing in the power of our ideas to win the day and leave the nation a better place.”
For now, the measure is currently a simple resolution, according to Axios, meaning that it is not enshrined into law and does not require a full vote by the Senate.
Kirk was tragically assassinated on Sept. 10 while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. He was only 31 years old.
