Utah activist collective that co-signed the Sept. 2026 'We will not stand for this' announcement against the UVU memorial, listed alongside SDS UVU, Community Defense Club, and national SDS. Originated as a BYU-area TikTok project confronting students on race and LGBTQ issues. No independent record was found of an official statement celebrating the 2025 killing; inclusion is for this week's organized disruption of remembrance.

The UVU administration has closed campus that day, and has endorsed this event, which is an endorsement of the views of Turning Point and Charlie Kirk.

Documented conduct

  • Co-announced the Sept. 10, 2026 protest of the Kirk memorial at UVU
