Today marks the 11th anniversary of Turning Point USA, the largest organization dedicated to educating young Americans and promoting freedom in the nation.
When Charlie Kirk founded the organization in 2012, it was a small team comprised of a dozen people who formed the National Field Program (NFP), which now has a presence on over 3,500 high school and college campuses. TPUSA now has over 530 team members fighting to save America and has become the most effective grassroots field program of any organization in the conservative movement.
The Professor Watchlist and School Board Watchlist have exposed over 500 progressive professors who value indoctrination above education. First-hand accounts from our student activists consistently make national headlines across Fox News, The Daily Wire, Post Millennial, and more.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, while most organizations sheltered, reduced workforces, and downplayed conservative initiatives, Turning Point USA continued to thrive. TPUSA’s growth during 2020 was largely due to the bold activism of student leaders who fought draconian COVID-19 restrictions on their campuses around the country.
In 2021, TPUSA Faith launched and now engages thousands of faith leaders nationwide; educating millions on America’s Judeo-Christian foundation. To highlight the cultural impact of Jerusalem, TPUSA also released “The Eye of the Storm,” a documentary by contributor Isabel Brown.
This year, TPUSA announced the launch of The Dean’s List, a comprehensive search engine to help young patriots make an educated choice on where to attend college. Turning Point USA also announced that the organization now powers the BLEXIT Foundation. Co-founded by Candace Owens and Brandon Tatum, the title stands for “Black Exit.” The initiative was established to empower all, by abolishing the victimhood mentality that holds many back from pursuing freedom and obtaining the American Dream, thus promoting Turning Point USA’s mission and values.
Turning Point USA also hosted Power to the People this year in Miami, Florida with Charlie Kirk and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. The event centered around discussions of socialism, the political state of Brazil, and more.
Turning Point USA contributors and reporters work tirelessly while traveling around the country and world to bring viewers frontline reports they can rely on.
In February 2023, TPUSA sent Contributors Morgonn McMichael, Jobob, and Savannah Hernandez to Davos, Switzerland to expose the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset agenda to bring Americans truthful and necessary information. TPUSA also hosted Defeating the Great Reset, headlined by Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, Jack Posobiec, Drew Hernandez, James Lindsay, and more, to prevent the globalist plot.
TPUSA contributors Drew Hernandez and Savannah Hernandez shared real-time border coverage during the surge of illegal migration brought on by the end of Title 42. Turning Point USA also released Border Battle, a docuseries that chronicles the horrifying conditions on the U.S. southern border.
Turning Point USA’s events have continuously grown to be the most attended in the conservative movement. AmericaFest became the largest gathering of conservatives in the country with over 10,000 attendees.
Turning Point USA’s Ongoing Commitment to Save America
Turning Point USA believes that the United States of America is the greatest country in the history of the world, the US Constitution is the most exceptional political document ever written, and capitalism is the most moral and proven economic system ever discovered.
TPUSA aims to educate, empower, organize, and mobilize young conservatives to speak boldly on their campuses, online, and in their communities around the nation.
Operating as a non-profit organization, Turning Point USA relies solely on the generous donations of courageous individuals and families who believe in the mission and values of the organization. Since its founding in 2012, TPUSA has been fortunate enough to gain the support of many donors who have the desire to mold culture for future generations.
“Turning Point USA’s grassroot success is only possible thanks to the decade-long financial support of passionate and patriotic Americans who, by their unwavering generosity, allow us to produce educational materials and nationwide training for our young student activists—the core of our conservative movement and the future of American leadership. Turning Point USA’s next ten years—and the future of America—are in the hands of young, active, and trained patriotic student leaders, all thanks to our grassroots financial supporters who believe in Turning Point USA.”
Charlie Kirk, Founder and CEO
