PROCLAMATION DECLARING OCTOBER 14TH AS A “DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR CHARLIE KIRK” IN THE CITY OF COEUR D’ALENE

WHEREAS, Charlie Kirk, born on October 14, 1993, was a steadfast champion of conservative values and Christian principles, founding Turning Point USA in 2012 to equip young Americans with the tools to defend liberty, truth, and faith in the public square; and

WHEREAS, Kirk’s unwavering commitment to the Gospel and the teachings of Jesus Christ guided his life’s work, inspiring countless individuals to embrace biblical truths, pursue righteousness, and live out the Great Commission through acts of service, evangelism, and moral courage in a secular age; and

WHEREAS, he consistently upheld the sacred importance of marriage as a union between one man and one woman, as ordained by Scripture, and celebrated the divine blessing of family life by encouraging the bearing and raising of children as a cornerstone of societal flourishing and generational legacy; and

WHEREAS, Kirk emphasized the vital role of citizen involvement in politics, urging believers to engage actively in the civic arena to protect religious freedoms, uphold justice, and shape policies that reflect God’s design for humanity, ensuring that faith informs the pursuit of the common good; and

WHEREAS, through his dedication to open and peaceful debate, Kirk fostered environments of respectful discourse on college campuses, media platforms, and community forums, modeling the pursuit of truth with grace, intellectual rigor, and a commitment to unity amid diversity of thought; and

WHEREAS, in the tragic wake of his untimely murder, we solemnly denounce political violence as an abhorrent assault on the sanctity of life and the foundations of our democracy, reaffirming our collective resolve to resolve differences through dialogue rather than destruction, and pledging to carry forward Kirk’s legacy by vigilantly safeguarding the tradition of free speech as the bedrock of a free society; and

WHEREAS, honoring Kirk’s birthday provides an opportunity for reflection, prayer, and action, inviting residents to draw inspiration from his example in living out faith, family, and freedom;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, [MAYOR’S NAME], Mayor of the City of Coeur d’Alene, by virtue of the authority vested in me, do hereby proclaim October 14th as A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR CHARLIE KIRK in the City of Coeur d’Alene, and I call upon the people of our community to observe this day with programs, prayers, family gatherings, civic discussions, and peaceful dialogues that celebrate his enduring contributions to our faith and values, while standing firm against violence and for the enduring power of open expression.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the City of Coeur d’Alene to be affixed this [DATE] day of [MONTH], 2025.
