Across the nation, people are coming together to honor the memory of Charlie Kirk, celebrating the conservative activist’s life and legacy with vigils spanning college campuses and public settings.

Throughout the weekend and on Monday, gatherings in Kirk’s memory took place nationwide. Vigils were held at locations such as the University of South Carolina, Arizona State University, New York City’s Washington Square Park, and Beverly Hills Garden Park in California.

The Turning Point USA chapter at ASU organized a massive vigil on Monday for the nonprofit organization’s founder.

Participation at the vigils was free upon pre-registration. By Monday afternoon, over 10,000 students and community members had enrolled, according to FOX 10 Phoenix.

“I saw everything happening with Charlie, and I felt very hurt about it because he was someone who talked a lot about freedom and freedom of speech, which is something I really agreed with,” said Pierce College student Jonathan Geoola, according to FOX 11.

Turning Point USA recently announced that a massive public memorial service for Kirk will be held this coming Sunday to honor the life and legacy of the “American legend.”  

The celebration of life — “Building a Legacy, Remembering Charlie Kirk” — will take place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. President Trump said Monday he plans to attend and signaled he may also deliver remarks.
