(Sept. 11, 2025): Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF) issues the following statement following the assassination of Charlie Kirk at a college free speech event:

Yesterday, a man lost his life for openly expressing his views. The fact that the assassination of Charlie Kirk took place on a college campus—where freedom of speech is supposed to be most valued and revered—makes this all the more tragic. Not just for Charlie’s family, but for the state of our American Republic. As we reflect on yesterday’s events, as well as the events of 9/11, we trust that truth, goodness, and freedom will continue to prevail over evil. We will continue to do our part to ensure that freedom of speech is cherished and protected, both in the courtroom and on college campuses. Charlie’s legacy will live on, and we thank him for making the ultimate sacrifice of laying down his life for God and country.
