Charlie Kirk brought the You’re Being Brainwashed Tour by Turning Point USA to the University of Pittsburgh on Sept. 18, 2024.

The College Republicans at the University of Pittsburgh will hold a vigil today in remembrance of Charlie Kirk.

The vigil is scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday at the William Pitt Union patio along Forbes Avenue.

Kirk, a conservative activist, was CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA. He was shot in the neck and killed during a free-speech debate.

The College Republicans announced the vigil Thursday on its Instagram page @cr.pitt.

On Thursday morning, the Carnegie Mellon University College Republicans painted The Fence overnight in tribute to Kirk.
