People across the country are gathering to mourn the death of Charlie Kirk, honoring the conservative activist’s life and legacy through vigils on college campuses and in public spaces.

On Monday and throughout the weekend, mourners came together in remembrance of Kirk at events held from coast to coast. Vigils were organized at places including the University of South Carolina (USC), Arizona State University (ASU), 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.

Attendance at the vigil was free with pre-registration, and by Monday afternoon, more than 10,000 students and community members had signed up to attend, Fox affiliate, FOX 10 Phoenix reported.

“As the [Turning Point USA] Arizona State University Chapter, we invite fellow members and community to join us in honoring Charlie Kirk with a candlelight vigil at Desert Financial Arena on Monday, September 15th at 5:30 PM,” the chapter posted to X.

“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.
