By the time he set off on his final campus speaking tour, Charlie Kirk had built an organization of some 250,000 members, all the while engaging in conservative political organizing, engineering get-out-the-vote efforts, drawing tens of millions of dollars in funding, and growing a media influence machine.
Turning Point USA (TPUSA), the organization that was the driving force behind Kirk’s movement, reflects his focus on engaging young minds in political debate and setting an example for new generations of political influencers such as himself.
