Vice President JD Vance and Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk will speak at the University of Mississippi in Oxford on Oct. 29, according to a social media post from the university’s Turning Point USA chapter.
The event is part of “The Turning Point Tour,” where the conservative grassroots organization is visiting college campuses across the nation. Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point and a conservative activist, was scheduled to speak at the event before he was assassinated last month.
After Kirk’s death, his widow and other conservative leaders have banded together and promised to continue with the tour to honor Kirk’s memory.
Tickets are free but require registration, and attendance will be first-come, first-served. The event begins at 5 p.m. on Oct. 29, according to the event details on Turning Point’s website.
