Charlie Kirk’s assassination ignites global fire: Patriots hold memorials from the UK to South Korea

The tragic assassination last week of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk sparked memorials in his honor not just across the nation, but around the globe.

Canadian patriots gathered in Calgary to sing the American national anthem and chant “USA” in memory of Kirk. Those in Alberta held a vigil and sang “Amazing Grace.”

‘He gave his life fighting for America’s future, and now his impact is multiplying. The political assassination of Charlie Kirk has backfired.’

Outside the U.S. embassy in Madrid, Spain, people placed candles, flowers, and posters to create a memorial to Kirk.

“Organizers described the tribute as part of a growing global movement standing against political violence and censorship,” entrepreneur and podcast host Mario Nawfal stated. “The event was peaceful, with a moment of silence held in Kirk’s memory. Supporters say this marks a turning point, not just in America, but worldwide.”

In South Korea, a large crowd gathered and marched through the streets, waving both South Korean and American flags. Participants chanted and held signs reading, “We are Charlie Kirk.”

Germans held a candlelight vigil in honor of Charlie Kirk outside the U.S. embassy in Berlin.

“Charlie Kirk is dead,” Martin C. T. Kohler, a German politician, wrote in a post on X, inviting individuals to join the vigil. “That is the bitter truth. We must not allow this to be the ending point. Charlie stood for freedom and debate. But first and foremost, he stood for his country and his faith.”

“We want to make a statement so that everyone can see what he died for. His death must not have been in vain,” Kohler continued. “Grief must not slip into resignation. We will carry on his message.”

A youth ambassador for TPUSA’s United Kingdom chapter known as “Young Bob” addressed the crowd that had gathered to hold a vigil for Kirk.

“The radical left have been persecuting the conservatives, who have one clear message: We want to conserve our culture and our heritage,” Young Bob stated.

“We will continue in civil discourse. We will continue his work. We will pick up the megaphones, the microphones, the stands. They won’t be able to move our minds by an inch,” he continued.

Joel Jammal, the head of TPUSA Australia, shared a video montage from a vigil in Sydney. In the audio for the montage, a speaker addressed the gathering, stating, “How strange is it, so far away from the USA, that we should feel such sadness?”

“There will not be another man like Charlie Kirk,” the video continued. “Christ is King. Christ is the one that inspired Charlie. ‘Christ’ was one of the last things Charlie said. Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. And until that is proclaimed throughout all the land, we will not be made great again as a nation.”

Memorials celebrating Kirk’s legacy were also held in Tel Aviv and New Zealand.

Benny Johnson reacted to the memorials.

“From prayer vigils on college campuses to murals and memorials around the globe, Charlie’s influence is spreading further than ever,” Johnson said. “He gave his life fighting for America’s future, and now his impact is multiplying. The political assassination of Charlie Kirk has backfired. He is more powerful now than ever. That’s the power of a martyr.”
