Condemning the September 10, 2025, political assassination of Charlie Kirk and honoring his life and legacy.
H. Res. 709 is a non-binding House resolution introduced in the 119th Congress that condemns the September 10, 2025 assassination of Charlie Kirk and honors his life and legacy. The resolution presents a biographical summary of Kirk, emphasizing his family, faith, and public work—most notably his founding of Turning Point USA and his activities to promote civil political engagement among young people. The bill's core purposes are to express condemnation of the violence, acknowledge the efforts of first responders, extend condolences to Kirk’s family, and reaffirm the House’s commitment to protecting Americans’ rights to peacefully assemble and express political views without fear of violence. Because it is a resolution, it is a symbolic, non-binding statement rather than a law that creates new rights, programs, or funding.
