Republican Kentucky legislators introduced a bill to establish Oct. 14 as “Charlie Kirk Day,” honoring the late conservative activist.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University at 31 years old and was an American right-wing political activist and former president and co-founder of Turning Point USA, according to the Associated Press.

Sen. Steve Rawlings, R-Burlington, filed Senate Bill 31, which would designate Kirk’s birthday as an annual day of remembrance in the Commonwealth.

The legislation describes Kirk as a “preeminent voice of a generation, inspiring millions of young Americans to engage in civic discourse, champion conservative principles, and reclaim the foundational values of faith, family, liberty, limited government, and individual responsibility.”

Turning Point USA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to identifying, educating, training and organizing students to promote the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets and limited government, according to its website.

“Charlie Kirk became a martyr for truth and liberty, enduring personal and professional attacks with an unwavering resolve to expose corruption, challenge prevailing narratives, and uphold objective reality in the face of censorship and cultural decay,” the Rawlings’ bill said.

If passed, the legislation would encourage Kentuckians to reflect on Kirk’s principles, participate in educational events and honor his legacy on Oct. 14.
