The tour is a “gospel-centered gathering calling people to repentance, faith, and bold obedience to Jesus,” according to its website.

Kirk, who took over Turning Point USA after her husband Charlie Kirk’s assassination in 2025, has drawn criticism for her outspoken views. At a recent Women’s Leadership Summit, she said feminism teaches women to “reject the very things that make womanhood unique,” according to The Wall Street Journal.

The Kirkland stop is the tour’s only appearance in the Pacific Northwest, besides Anchorage, Alaska, on July 26.
