People are wearing red today, October 14, 2025, to commemorate what would have been Charlie Kirk's 32nd birthday. Kirk, a conservative activist and co- founder of Turning Point USA, was tragically assassinated last September. Supporters across the nation are wearing red, especially red "FREEDOM" shirts, as part of a grassroots initiative called "Wear Red Day" or the "National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk." The U.S. Senate passed a resolution recognizing this day, and President Donald Trump is posthumously awarding Kirk the Medal of Freedom at a White House ceremony today. This movement has gained strong support on social media with hashtags like #IamCharlie and #WeAreCharlie, and the Turning Point USA organization, which Kirk co-founded, is leading the initiative.
