TPUSA showcased an ad for its upcoming AmericaFest 2025 in Times Square, New York City.

The video, shared on TPUSA’s Instagram, features founder Kirk discussing the importance of healthy dialogue. “When churches stop talking, when marriages stop talking, when friends stop talking, division and strife usually begins,” Kirk said. “And so, I think dialogue is paramount to a healthy and functioning society."

Rumble, which will exclusively stream the conference, also promoted the ad on its X account on Monday, December 1, quoting Kirk, “Dialogue is paramount to a healthy and functioning society.”



When will the AmericaFest 2025 take place?

AmericaFest 2025 will take place from December 18-21 at the Phoenix Convention Center in Arizona and will pay tribute to Kirk.

The conference website reads, "at AmericaFest 2025, we gather to honor Charlie’s legacy—to continue the mission he began and to celebrate the country he loved."

It continued, "Over four unforgettable days, thousands of attendees will hear from the nation’s top leaders, engage with over 100 partner organizations, and experience world-class training designed to strengthen their leadership and activism.”

Several conservative speakers, along with members of the Donald Trump administration such as Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, are expected to appear at the event.

Erika Kirk continues to honor her late husband Charlie Kirk



Erika Kirk, known for frequently honoring her late husband Charlie Kirk, recently shared a tribute highlighting one of his messages about the importance of attending church.

Erika shared the video with a message, “Go to a Bible believing church. With a Bible believing pastor. Who cares enough about your salvation to not water down the Gospel,” reinforcing Kirk's message to his followers.

For Thanksgiving, Erika also reposted a message the TPUSA founder shared last year, reflecting on gratitude amid heartache.



She wrote, “What I would give. Even in the depths of pain and heartache of trails, there is always something to be thankful for. Please love your family so deeply today (and always). If you don’t have family; then your chosen family. Your friends. Your loved ones. Life is so precious, life is so short.”

Through these posts, Erika continues to honor the late activist's words while sharing faith-centered messages.
