Key Points

This bill would award the Congressional Gold Medal to Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA. This medal is the highest honor Congress can give to a civilian for their impact on American history and culture.
The bill honors Kirk for his work with Turning Point USA, an organization with over 1,800 chapters that teaches students about small government. It also mentions his death in September 2025, calling him a hero who was killed by a terrorist.
If the bill passes, the government would make two gold medals. One would be given to Kirk’s family, and the other would be put in the Smithsonian museum for people to see.
The U.S. Mint would also sell bronze copies of the medal to the public. The money from these sales would be used to pay for the cost of making the medals so that taxpayers do not have to cover the expense.
