Hundreds Gather at NDSU for Candlelight Vigil Honoring Charlie Kirk

About 550 people gathered at Stanislaus State to honor Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, with prayers calling for an end to political violence.

  • On September 16, 2025, approximately 200 people gathered at North Dakota State University’s Churchill Field to hold a candlelight vigil in memory of Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who was killed the previous week in Utah.
  • Kirk was fatally shot during an event held at Utah Valley University on September 10, and the suspected attacker has been officially charged, facing the possibility of the death penalty in Utah.
  • The vigil was hosted by NDSU's Turning Point USA chapter and organized by Catholics for Catholics, including prayers, worship, and online participation from thousands nationwide.
  • Following Kirk’s death, over 10,000 crypto tokens referencing his name launched, with one token reaching a $16 million market cap within an hour, and creators earning hundreds of thousands in fees.
  • The events sparked calls to end political violence, inspired public memorial plans in Arizona on September 21, and motivated supporters to become more outspoken about their beliefs.
