John,

They tried to break us.

At UC Berkeley — one of the most hostile, left-wing campuses in America — ANTIFA tried to shut down our final campus tour stop of 2025.

They showed up hours early. 

Wearing masks. Lighting flares and smoke bombs. Throwing paint and glass bottles at attendees. Waving Mexican and rainbow flags. 

They mocked Charlie’s assassination... pointing to their own necks where he was shot. 

They chanted: “F*** Charlie Kirk”... “No safe space for fascist scum”... “Fascists out of Berkeley.” 

And they rushed police barricades, hoping to break through and disrupt our final campus tour stop of the semester. 

ANTIFA surrounded the venue, blocking every entrance.   

Even after our students and attendees were leaving, ANTIFA located their exit and continued to meet them with violence.   

The mob swarmed every student, speaker, and parent who came to hear a message of faith, family, and freedom. 

A mother holding her two daughters was forced to push through a wall of protesters screaming profanity in her children’s faces. 

Another attendee, blood dripping from his brow, was pulled to safety after being struck in the chaos outside the event. 

These out-of-control Leftists weren’t satisfied with merely being heard in protest — They wanted to pick a fight. 

Police made multiple arrests.  

UC Berkeley, a so-called “bastion” of free speech, turned into a war zone. 

But still… 

The event went on. 

A packed house. Our students didn’t retreat. 

They stood strong.  

Even when ANTIFA plotted to register for tickets to leave HUNDREDS of empty seats, our patriotic students filled the room anyways. 

And they gave Charlie’s legacy the tribute it deserved. 

Rob Schneider took the stage with humility and fire. Dr. Frank Turek brought clarity and conviction. 

What took place behind those doors was a powerful reminder: Truth is louder than hate.  

John, I need you to hear this next part — because it’s about patriots like you. 

This tour? This fight?

These students who keep showing up — even when it’s dangerous? 

They didn’t get here on their own. 

They got here because patriots like YOU believed in them. 

Because when the mobs swarmed... When the threats came in... 

When everyone from the fake news media to the so-called political “experts” said Gen Z was lost to the Left... 

And when they tried to silence this movement that Charlie built... 

People like you stood up. Stayed in. Kept the mission alive. 

And showed our young people that they’re not alone. 

That America is still worth fighting for. That free speech still has defenders.

That faith, family, and FREEDOM still have a future. 

So if you’ve ever wondered if it’s working… If it’s worth it… 

Let me be clear: Patriots like you are why we’re winning the American Culture War. 

And now this is your chance to be part of something rare — a moment in history where patriotic young Americans are reclaiming the culture, one campus at a time. 

Our students on campus are truly the vanguard for saving this nation, but they need to know we have their backs. 

Will you make a gift right now to send backup to the frontlines and stand with these young patriots who refuse to quit? 

Every dollar you give today helps us protect our student leaders, send activism kits to chapters, defend free speech, and fuel our reach to change more hearts and minds.

The Left tried to intimidate us. They tried to outnumber us. They tried to drown us out. 

But we didn’t blink. Our students didn’t blink.  

The mob at Berkeley couldn’t stop us. 

Because we didn’t come to Berkeley to be liked... 

We came to speak truth. 

We came to finish what Charlie started. 

That’s exactly what happened. And that’s exactly why we’re winning. 

John, thank you. 

Patriots like you helped turn chaos into courage… Hate into hope… And grief into grit. 

Let’s keep going... 

For Charlie,

P.S. John, when the Left screamed in our students’ faces… When they mocked Charlie’s murder…  

Our students held the line. 

If you believe in what they’re doing… If you know this fight is just beginning… 

Your support means more than you know. 

You can help by sending backup to the frontlines. Help these brave young leaders fight for freedom and equip our student chapters across the country.
