As millions continue to reel from the tragic and brutal murder of conservative giant Charlie Kirk, memorials and vigils have continued to pop up in Wisconsin and across the country honoring Kirk’s legacy of free and open debate and his religious background.

On Tuesday night, thousands converged on Waukesha to mourn Kirk at an event headlined by former Governor Scott Walker. (RELATED: Calls Grow for Wausau Alderperson Lou Larson to Resign After Offensive Remarks on Charlie Kirk’s Killing)

“Many young people have lost a leader,” Walker said. “A leader who gave them a voice, who let them know that they could speak out for their values.”

The vigil was just one among hundreds being held for Kirk across the country that hopes to continue his legacy of free and open debate and getting new people engaged in the political process.

For the Waukesha vigil, the latter goal appears to have been achieved as many attendees said it was their first political event.

At Arizona State University, near the Turning Point USA headquarters, more than 10,000 students and community members gathered to mourn Kirk. (RELATED: Second UW-Madison Professor Caught Disparaging Charlie Kirk in Wake of Gruesome Assassination)

Dozens of Congressmen also descended on the Capitol for a vigil honoring Kirk, though House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-Ny. and most Congressional Democrats were absent.

Turning Point USA has announced that a large public memorial will be held on Sunday that will be sponsored by the organization in Glendale, Arizona. The event is expected to draw tens of thousands of attendees.

The attempts to honor Kirk’s legacy have not ended at vigils, as Turning Point USA has reported tens of thousands of requests to start new chapters. As of Monday afternoon, the organization stated that 37,000 new requests have been submitted to start chapters in high schools and universities across the country.
