Charlie Kirk’s final message to supporters has been released as some of the United States’ most prominent conservatives prepare to speak at his memorial over the weekend.

The 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA appeared in a short video posted to social media for the first time on Tuesday using sports metaphors to encourage Arizonans to register to vote before the 2026 governor’s race.

‘It’s game time Arizona, but you can’t make plays if you’re not on the team,’ the conservative influencer told his followers.

‘Register to vote now and lock in your early voting game plan,’ Kirk continued, declaring: ‘2026 is Arizona’s Championship game and we need our whole team on the field.

‘Next year’s Arizona election is our chance to turn the game around and it starts with you getting ready to vote,’ the conservative influencer said, directing his supporters to the Turning Point Action website to register to vote.

‘Arizona’s counting on you to bring home the win,’ Kirk concluded in what has now become his final message.

It was shared by Tyler Bowyer, the COO of Turning Point Action, who said it was the last video ‘that we had Charlie record before he was taken from us.

‘Today is National Voter Registration Day,’ Bowyer explained of his decision to release the video now. ‘Honor Charlie and take just TWO minutes to update your registration or register a friend or family member.’

Kirk made a name for himself when he founded Turning Point USA at the age of just 18. He is now credited with energizing the Republican youth movement and helping President Donald Trump win back the White House in 2024.

The president is now set to honor his efforts by providing remarks at Kirk’s massive memorial on Sunday, which is to be held at the 63,400-seat State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Vice President JD Vance will also speak at the service, after crediting his late friend with helping him reach the second highest office in the nation.

‘So much of the success we’ve had in this administration traces directly to Charlie’s ability to organize and convene,’ the vice president said in a moving tribute online.

‘He didn’t just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.’

Other members of the federal government will also travel to Arizona to deliver remarks on Kirk’s passing, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Additionally, prominent conservatives like Tucker Carlson and Stephen Miller will speak, as will Donald Trump Jr. who memorialized the late commentator as a ‘little brother.’

Kirk’s widow, Erika, will also speak to the crowd after vowing to continue to spread her husband’s message.

‘Charlie, I promise I will never let your legacy die, baby,’ she said in a tearful message from his recording studio. ‘I promise I’ll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing that this nation has ever seen.’

She added that her husband ‘never gave up.’

‘One of his mottos was never surrender. So I want to tell that we will never surrender,’ Erika said in a defiant tone.

‘The campus tour will continue. There will be even more tours in the years ahead to come,’ she went on.

His ideology will continue to spread – ‘in a world filled with chaos doubt and uncertainty, my husbands voice will remain,’ she added.

An online tribute to the late conservative influencer echoes those remarks.

It says that Kirk’s ‘life was a testament to faith, courage and conviction,’ calling him a ‘servant of the Lord.’

‘From his earliest days, he believed America was worth fighting for and he dedicated every moment of his 31 years to the cause,’ the tribute reads.

‘He did not seek influence for its own sake. Instead, he poured his life into others, raising up a generation who would be bold in their faith, steadfast in their love of freedom and unafraid to defend their country.’

The tribute also says that ‘Charlie ignited a fire in the hearts of tens of millions daily’ through his work at Turning Point USA.

‘He showed a generation that truth must never be silenced, that courage is contagious and that freedom must be protected at all costs,’ it reads.

It also notes that Kirk ‘died doing what he loved: fighting for truth, for faith, for family and for America.

‘His sacrifice will endure as a guiding light for generations,’ the tribute says.

‘We honor him not only with our words, but with our actions. We will move forward together, fighting harder, standing taller and refusing to surrender.’

‘Charlie’s life was short, but it was full,’ the tribute concludes. ‘It was defined by truth, anchored in faith and devoted to the country he loved.’

Kirk, a father-of-two, was gunned down while speaking with students and community members at Utah Valley University last Wednesday.

The shocking assassination, which was caught on camera, sparked outrage among conservatives and led to a days-long manhunt for his killer.

Tyler Robinson, 22, was finally taken into custody two days after Kirk’s untimely death, with prosecutors claiming he fired the fatal shot from a nearby rooftop before fleeing on foot.

He is said to have targeted Kirk over his stances on gay and transgender rights.

Robinson is now facing seven charges for felony aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury and two counts of witness tampering.

The charges come with a maximum sentence of the death penalty in Utah, where prosecutors have said they will include aggravating factors – including the fact that the murder was conducted in front of small children – in their arguments as they seek to pursue justice.

In the meantime, Robinson is being held behind bars at the Utah County Jail without bond.
