Expressing support of the House of Representatives that October 14, 2025, be designated as a "National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk".
This House Resolution (H. Res. 727) introduces a ceremonial, non-binding expression of support for designating October 14, 2025, as a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk. The measure acknowledges Kirk as a prominent advocate for free speech, civil dialogue, civic engagement, and constitutional principles, and notes his role as founder of Turning Point USA and his influence through writings and public advocacy. It also states that Kirk was killed by an assassin’s bullet on September 10, 2025. The resolution then urges that the designated day be observed with programs and activities that promote civic engagement, faith, liberty, and democracy, and recognizes Kirk’s contributions to public life. This is a symbolic, commemorative action rather than a law or funding provision.
