September 10, 2025, Washington, DC – National Parents Union President Keri Rodrigues released this statement following the tragic passing of Charlie Kirk.
“This young father should still be alive. No family should be mourning because of political violence, period. Our hearts are with his loved ones. But, as we have had to say too often, thoughts and prayers are not enough. Violence has no place in our politics.”
