News - Erika Kirk draws parallels between revival and anti-ICE protests.

Erika Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA, cleverly links Rachel Maddow's thoughts on anti-ICE protests to the spiritual awakening that followed her husband's tragic death. During the TPUSA Faith's first 'Make Heaven Crowded' tour in Los Angeles, Kirk discusses Maddow's '3.5% Rule' with Jimmy Kimmel. Maddow suggests that when 3.5% of a population engages in peaceful protest, it becomes an unstoppable force against authoritarianism. Kirk interpreted this idea as being similar to the Christian revival championed by her husband, Charlie Kirk—a movement where a devoted few can create meaningful change through faith. She recalls the unity seen at her husband's memorial service, underscoring the powerful gathering of Christians from various denominations. The event underscored a shared mission of faith over division, embodied by the tour itself. Kirk described this mission as both simple and profound: to unite people and bring them to Jesus, igniting a national revival. She encouraged believers not to confine their faith to church walls but to express love, faith, and action in the world at large. Kirk concluded by urging the use of the 'fire of the Holy Spirit' as a transformative power in America's socio-political arena, advocating for peaceful, impactful political activism reflective of the change her husband envisioned.
