The resolution honors the life of Charles "Charlie" Kirk, a prominent conservative political activist, talk radio host, public speaker, and author, who was assassinated on September 10, 2025, during a speaking engagement at a Turning Point USA event. At just 18 years old, Kirk co-founded Turning Point USA, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting conservative values in educational institutions. He was known for his efforts to engage young Americans in political discourse and encourage voter participation through debates and campaigns. Kirk was also a devoted family man and a person of faith, who passionately shared his beliefs through various platforms.

In light of his assassination, the New Jersey General Assembly condemns political violence and any intimidation against individuals based on their political beliefs. The resolution reaffirms the Assembly's commitment to protecting the rights of all Americans to peacefully assemble and express their views without fear of violence. Copies of the resolution will be sent to Turning Point USA and Charlie Kirk's family, honoring his legacy and advocating for the principles he stood for.
