Thank you so much to @cultureandchristianity for allowing @tpusa_mtsu / @tpusa.faith.mtsu to table! We checked over 30 voter statuses, met lots of @turningpointusa supporters and speakers!

It was a pleasure hanging out with @baby.abigail.w , @chrismerkel_ , @raeganbecquet , and @jadenheard from @tpusacommunities during the conference!

Thank you so much @havanajdavison and @baby.abigail.w for helping out at the conference!

I love the work @mrtimbarton and his father do with @wallbuilders ! I have especially loved their book The American Story: The Beginnings!

It was very special to see @robmccoy.us , @mikey.mccoy ‘s father and @charliekirk1776 ‘s pastor, roughly one year and one week after Charlie was assassinated.

Months of planning went into these two historic events! On the afternoon of September 17th, @sfl.mtsu had the privilege of hosting @lydiataylordavis for her first “Abortion is Anti-Woman” campus tour of the Fall ‘26 semester! That evening, we hosted Lydia, Portico Nurse Di Bell, and @tpusacommunities ’ @jadenheard ! This would not have happened if it weren’t for my wonderful exec board, MTSU staff, @porticostory ‘s amazing team, and @studentsforlife ‘s brilliant staff! Because of all of us working together, we were able to enlighten people on the disastrous affects of the chemical abortion pill (it’s in our water supply 🤮) and expose the lie that abortion is pro-woman.

As President of @sfl.mtsu I’m honored to stand for life, make an impact on MTSU’s campus, start the conversation, and to share pregnancy resources with women who are considering abortion. Abortion is never the answer! Life is a precious gift from God that should not be destroyed! Check @sfl.mtsu ‘s bio for free, confidential pregnancy resources!

I stand for Life because I am determined to carry forth @charliekirk1776 ‘s legacy; I stand for life because I know it is the right thing to do. Will you?

We were honored to host two historic events for Middle Tennessee State University’s Students For Life chapter!

In the afternoon, we welcomed Students for Life spokeswoman Lydia Taylor-Davis for her first “Abortion Is Anti-Woman” campus tour stop of the semester at MTSU! In the evening, we partnered with Portico Pregnancy Resource Center and its Ignite team to host an important discussion featuring @lydiataylordavis , Portico Nurse Manager Di Bell, and @jadenheard of @tpusacommunities .

Together, we discussed chemical abortion and educated the MTSU community on its harms and accessibility. Thank you so much to all those who attended, supporting Portico and our chapter!

None of this would have been possible without our chapter’s founder, now serving as Students for Life’s Appalachian Formation Coordinator, Jackson Lewis. Thank you to the teams at Portico, MTSU, and Students for Life of America for helping make these events happen!

We are Charlie’s legacy.

@tpusa_mtsu had the honor of being TN’s only chapter leaders at UVU for Freedom: Built To Last, Honoring Charlie Kirk. I got to see some of my favorite people in Utah like @michaeljknowles , @reformation.red.pill.podcast , @drfrankturek , @mikey.mccoy , @delsypher , @havanajdavison , and @anneelizabethmetcalf ! I absolutely love the TPUSA staff and I’m so grateful for my exec! Everything we do could not be possible if not for them!

Utah is a beautiful place! We had a great adventure! Utah Valley University is a beautiful campus; it’s hard to believe such evil could take place there. Stepping foot on the place where Charlie died changed me. I want to live in a way that glorifies Jesus and in a way that honors Charlie. I miss him very much!

Onward.

Utah Valley University is a beautiful campus; it’s hard to believe such evil could take place there. We are so grateful for our TPUSA family who were at this event and those who have held their own vigils all across the country!

You have a place in this movement. We want you to be a part of Team America; we want you to be a part of Charlie’s legacy! It isn’t too late to take a stand for your values!

Today one of our members, and representative from @studentsforlife, @appalachian_sfla, was assaulted by a woman (pretending to be a man) during a civil conversation. The woman threw a cup full of ice at her face.

Charges have been pressed. Political violence - in any type or regard - should not and WILL NOT be tolerated.

Thank you to our wonderful friends at MTPD for promptly arriving at the scene and locating this individual.

Hey y’all! I wanted to let y’all know about an event @sfl.mtsu is hosting this Thursday, September 17, in the James Union Building’s Tennessee Ballroom from 6:00pm-9:00pm!! We will be hosting Students For Life Spokesperson @lydiataylordavis , @jadenheard , and Di Bell from Portico, Murfreesboro’s Local Pregnancy Resource Center for a Q&A on chemical abortion!

Many states have outlawed abortion and some have allowed full term abortions like Massachusetts. Sadly, chemical abortion is at an all time high in those states that have made abortion illegal like our home state Tennessee. It is so easy to get access to abortion pills; it’s harder to get piercings and tattoos than it is to get an abortion! Just ask @thomas._.dinkel ! Come to be equipped with truth, meet likeminded students and community members, and enjoy some free Kona Ice!

@chrismerkel_ , @raeganbecquet , and I will also be speaking!! We would love to have y’all!

The link to the Eventbrite will be in my bio! Thank you and God bless you!!
