"I Am Charlie Kirk" (Kathy Scigliano)

Charlie Kirk has always meant a lot to me because he stood up for something I deeply believe in—free speech and the right to think for yourself. As a mom, that means even more. I want my kids to grow up in a world where they can ask questions, form their own opinions, and not be pressured to believe what’s pushed on them in schools.

Watching Charlie speak out so boldly reminded me that staying silent isn’t an option when it comes to our children’s future. His courage inspired me to stand up for my kids’ rights, to challenge the systems that try to silence parents, and to keep fighting for truth and freedom—no matter how uncomfortable the conversation gets. He was such a strong supporter of the Moms for Liberty movement, and that gave me the courage to become more outspoken and brave. His example helped me realize that, as parents, we have a responsibility to speak up and show our kids that it’s not only okay—but necessary—to ask questions and hold those in positions of authority accountable. We should all live like Charlie did, outspoken and unafraid to speak up. My name is Kathy Scigliano- and I am Charlie Kirk.
