In Memory of Charlie Kirk
Founder, Turning Point USA
A Legacy of Empowerment
Charlie Kirk was a passionate advocate for freedom, debate, and civic engagement who founded Turning Point USA to empower young Americans to stand up for their beliefs. His vision of creating spaces where ideas could be challenged respectfully and openly inspired a generation to engage in meaningful dialogue. Through his work, he demonstrated that the strength of democracy lies in the courage of everyday citizens to speak their truth and defend their convictions.
The Inspiration Behind TheDebated
Inspired by Charlie Kirk's life and legacy, the founder of TheDebated sought to do their part by creating a platform where real, everyday people can challenge each other and debate real topics—and be heard. A place that is fair, transparent, authentic, and above all, safe, with a steadfast message of non-violence. This is a space where voices matter, where civil discourse thrives, and where the spirit of respectful debate lives on. Charlie had the Courage to debate ideas in Public, for the world to see. We should follow his example.
Words to Remember
"The best way to win an argument is not to shut down your opponent, but to engage with their ideas and prove yours are better."
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We must fight for it, defend it, and hand it to our children."
"The most important work we do isn't in politics—it's in our families, our communities, and in how we treat each other every day."
