America: Love it or Leave it Tour takes over college campuses nationwide this fall, featuring Erika Kirk, Don Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Dr. Daniel Amen, Nick Shirley, Michael Knowles, Will Witt and many more special guests
Turning Point USA is announcing the launch of the “America: Love It or Leave It Tour,” a nationwide university tour for the fall 2026 semester.
Charlie Kirk often shared that America is the only country where even those who say they hate it refuse to leave, and that this is proof of our country’s greatness. This tour will challenge those who claim to hate America with a simple question: If you don’t love America, why don’t you leave?
The tour will bring some of the conservative movement’s most prominent voices to college campuses to discuss why America remains the greatest country on Earth, why being proud of your country isn’t controversial, and why those who constantly tear it down so rarely choose to leave.
“Charlie’s love for debate will always be in the DNA of Turning Point USA, because we believe in truth, and we believe in civil discourse, and we believe that truth can withstand scrutiny,” says Erika Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA.
Each stop will keep Charlie’s legacy alive by featuring live discussions and open Q&A sessions designed to give students the opportunity to engage directly with speakers, ask questions, and participate in substantive conversations about the country’s future. In keeping with Turning Point USA’s proud tradition started by Charlie himself, those who disagree will be invited to the front of the line.
The tour aims to encourage students to defend free speech, challenge prevailing campus narratives, affirm the value of American principles, and confront the fashionable anti-Americanism that insists on hating the country while refusing to leave it.
