‘Fearless’ Tour Takes Charlie Kirk’s Free Speech Mission to Colleges Nationwide

The shocking assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has ignited a new national movement to protect free speech — starting on college campuses where conservatives have long faced hostility. Now, activists are picking up Kirk’s torch and taking it directly to the front lines.

Kirk, 31, was gunned down last week during a campus event at Utah Valley University, leaving behind his wife, Erika, and their two young children. But while his voice was silenced by a bullet, his message is spreading louder than ever.

In the wake of the tragedy, Seattle-based journalist and conservative influencer Cameron Higby — a frequent contributor to TPUSA’s FrontLines — has launched a grassroots campus tour with political commentator David Khait called Fearless. The mission: defend free speech, confront radicalism, and refuse to be intimidated by violence.

“It’s to show people that conservatives, and people in general, aren’t afraid to go out and talk about their beliefs in the public square,” Higby told Fox News Digital. “Even though Charlie sat behind a table just like ours and was shot and killed. We want to show that we’re not scared.”

On Monday, the duo set up a bold, pro-free speech booth at Georgia State University, donning MAGA hats and placing signs that read:

• “Nobody should be killed for their opinions. RIP Charlie.”

• “Left is violent: Let’s debate.”

By Tuesday, they added a new sign: “Men cannot be women: Let’s talk.” The point, they say, is not to provoke — but to invite open dialogue in an age of censorship and intimidation.

Not everyone was willing to talk.
Clips shared online showed several students hurling insults, with one man celebrating Kirk’s death, another pretending to shoot himself in the neck to mock the murder, and a third stealing Khait’s hat as a crowd of onlookers cheered.

“They clearly know nothing about Charlie,” Higby said. “It’s very sad to see people justifying his death.”

Things turned violent at times. Protesters reportedly tried to rip out the group’s microphones, jump on their table, and forcibly remove them from campus. At a Seattle vigil for Kirk, Higby says he was attacked by two protesters who punched him in the face and smashed his smart glasses. One trans-identifying protester reportedly bragged on camera about wanting to kill Kirk personally.

Higby and Khait plan to expand to more colleges in Georgia and the surrounding region — and they’re already seeing results. Conversations at liberal campuses like the University of Washington revealed that many students, even those who disagreed with Kirk politically, were deeply disturbed by his assassination.

“Charlie represented what America stands for,” Higby said. “He actively sought out his opposition to have discussions with them, and he policed his own followers to behave and respect those people who disagreed with him.”

Turning Point USA reports that since Kirk’s murder, they’ve received more than 37,000 requests from people interested in launching new campus chapters.

The message behind the Fearless tour is simple:
America’s young conservatives are not backing down.
Free speech will not be silenced.
And Charlie Kirk’s fight is far from over.
