Today marks one year since Charlie was killed while exercising a freedom at the very heart of our country: the First Amendment right to speak openly, express our ideas, and engage in debate
Charlie understood the power of conversation and the importance of engaging with ideas, even when we disagree. As a young conservative leader, he dedicated himself to bringing young people into the political process and inspiring a new generation to get involved, speak up, and make their voices heard.
Let us honor Charlie’s memory by continuing to inspire young Americans to get involved, have educated conversations, and stand firmly for what they believe in.
God bless Charlie and his family, and may his legacy live on through each of us.
