Turning Point USA is experiencing an unprecedented surge in interest as students across America rush to launch new chapters in honor of late founder Charlie Kirk.
Andrew Kolvet, a spokesman for TPUSA, announced on X that inquiries to start chapters at high schools and universities have doubled since Kirk’s memorial service on Sunday.
Prior to the event, TPUSA had received roughly 60,000 inquiries.
That number has now soared to more than 120,000.
“HUGE UPDATE — After Sunday’s memorial for Charlie, TPUSA received a massive surge of inquiries to start new chapters,” Kolvet wrote.
“Pre-Sunday: We had around 60,000 inquiries. Post-Sunday: We are now at over 120,000 inquiries.
“Even accounting for attrition and duplicates, we are on the cusp of having a TPUSA or Club America chapter in every HS and College campus in America.”

The overwhelming response reflects how Kirk’s assassination galvanized young conservatives across the country, fueling a new wave of activism.
Following Erika Kirk’s powerful speech honoring her late husband, the organization immediately received 18,000 new requests to start campus chapters.
Erika Kirk vowed that her husband’s mission would continue undeterred.
“No one will ever forget my husband’s name, and I will make sure of it,” she said Friday in an address to the nation.
“It will become stronger, bolder, louder, and greater than ever.
“My husband’s mission will not end, not even for a moment.
“I love knowing that one of his mottos was never surrender.
“So I want to tell you that we’ll never surrender.
“Never will. ever, ever, she vowed.
“Our campus tour this fall will continue.
“There will be even more tours in the years to come.
“America Fest here in Phoenix this December will go on.
“It will be greater than ever,” she declared.
“The radio and podcast show that he was so proud of will go on.
“And in a world filled with chaos, doubt, and uncertainty, my husband’s voice will remain.
“And it will ring out louder and more clearly than ever.
“And his wisdom will endure.”
The outpouring of support has positioned TPUSA to achieve what Kirk long envisioned: a conservative presence on nearly every high school and college campus in America.
For an organization already central to shaping the next generation of conservative leaders, the momentum sparked by Kirk’s legacy marks a turning point in campus politics.
