But if you think that’s the end of the story, no—it's just the beginning. That already humongous number has now soared to over 32,000 as of this writing.
Turning Point USA has seen a massive surge in inquiries for new college chapters as the organization works to advance Charlie Kirk's vision following his assassination last week.
Andrew Kolvet, executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, said Sunday that in the past 48 hours, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) has received more than 32,000 inquiries from people wanting to start new campus chapters.
"To put that in perspective, TPUSA currently has 900 official college chapters and around 1,200 high school chapters, with a presence of 3,500 total," Kolvet, who is also a TPUSA spokesman, wrote on X.

Kolvet said that the movement will not be defeated:
"Charlie's vision to have a Club America chapter (our high school brand) in every high school in America (around 23,000) will come true much, much faster than he could have ever possibly imagined," Kolvet added, calling the response to expand Kirk's mission "truly incredible."
In a separate post, Kolvet wrote, "This is the Turning Point."
Charlie Kirk and TPUSA also had 15 BILLION social media views of his debate clips, show clips, and events across social media in fall leadup to the election. 15 BILLION with a B. According to TikTok's own national survey, he was the most trusted voice for Trump voters under 30. https://t.co/LXthxt5PEN pic.twitter.com/URHOgrfhEd

Kirk’s widow Erika made a heart-wrenching speech Friday night, saying:
To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband built will not die.
I refuse to let that happen. No one will ever forget my husband's name. And I will make sure of it. It will become stronger. Bolder. Louder and greater than ever.
Judging by the number of new chapter requests we’re seeing, she’s 100 percent on point.
The giant has been awakened.
