Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) joined with Turning Point USA Chairwoman and CEO Erika Kirk to bring Club America chapters to the state’s high schools.
“Charlie Kirk dedicated his life to empowering young Americans to stand up for faith, freedom, and the principles our country was founded on,” said Sanders. “I had the privilege of calling Charlie a friend and seeing firsthand the movement he built. Bringing Club America chapters to Arkansas high schools will help continue that mission and inspire the next generation of leaders.”
During a press conference on the matter, Kirk said, “Don’t let anyone disenfranchise you because you’re a young man, especially a young white male man, don’t ever let anyone talk down to you. We need strong men out there, strong men who are convicted that will be good leaders, good husbands, good fathers like mine. We need that.”
Addressing women she said, “And young women, we need you to also rise up. Don’t compromise yourself. Don’t look at other women and compare yourself.”
Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales announced a similar effort this week, launching a statewide voter registration effort with Club America. “As Indiana’s Chief Election Officer, my priority is ensuring every eligible Hoosier has the opportunity to register to vote and participate in our elections. I’m excited to partner with Club America on this initiative allowing us to meet young voters where they are and empower them with the tools and resources they need to engage in the civic process,” said Morales. “Young Hoosiers are the future of our state. By engaging students early and providing hands-on opportunities to participate and serve, we are building the next generation of informed voters and leaders.”
