The Kirk Record

Investigative ledger · September 8–12, 2026

Who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s killing — and who disrupted the anniversary.

Kirk was assassinated September 10, 2025 at Utah Valley University. This week is the first anniversary. Most celebration was not a national party line — it was campus chapters, Utah cells, educators, and online swarms. 12 documented entries, 5 active in the anniversary window. Sort by importance, size, or funding.

Official condemnations (CPUSA, AFT, Salt Lake DSA, Open Society, Bernie Sanders) live on the method page. Disagreement with Kirk is not a listing criterion.
