Statement from ALEC CEO Lisa B. Nelson on the National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk

Today, on what would have been his 32nd birthday, we honor the life of Charlie Kirk as he receives the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Charlie inspired a generation to stand up for free speech and champion American values – the same values shared by ALEC state legislators across the country. We will continue to carry on his legacy by “picking up the microphone” and exchanging ideas that advance the principles that allow our nation to thrive.
