"While Charlie Kirk didn't play a direct hand in my personal road back into society, his words gave me strength in my weakest hours, That is why I'm holding this vigil. Not for politics, not for personal gain, but to honor a man whose voice carried across this country and reminded people like me that faith, grit, and conviction are stronger than despair."
"Charlie would want us all to pick up his torch and carry on his mission. Even though many of us knew him through events and gatherings rather than formal friendships, he always fought for us no matter what. We are a city where everyone's opinions matter. We're a city that's built on expressing your rights to free speech. I want to end the political violence. I've invited Democrats. I've invited Republicans."
A candlelight vigil for Charlie Kirk will take place on the Boston Common Thursday night, beginning at 7 p.m. near the Shaw Memorial in front of the State House and ending at 10 p.m. More than 1,400 people showed interest on Facebook, with at least 280 indicating they would attend. Boston police will block off Beacon Street and remain through the event. Organizer Brian Foley described the event as a day of remembrance and framed it as a nonpolitical effort to honor Kirk and call for an end to political violence. The event page urges carrying on Kirk’s mission and emphasizes free speech.
