Brilyn Hollyhand Launches Tour to Honor Late TPUSA Founder

AUBURN, Ala. — On Sept. 19, Brilyn Hollyhand, a freshman at Auburn University studying political science, announced a new initiative to partner with Turning Point USA (TPUSA) for a college campus tour titled “One Conversation at a Time.” The tour will honor the legacy of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, who was recently killed.

Hollyhand intends to travel across the southeastern United States, speaking at ten college campuses to inspire young people to engage in politics. On the conservative talk show Sid and Friends in the Morning, he shared, “I will be launching a ‘One Conversation at a Time’ tour…being bolder than ever to carry out Charlie’s legacy to reach the next generation.”

Despite facing increasing security threats, Hollyhand emphasized the importance of continuing Kirk’s work. “Yes, I’m getting more death threats by the hour than I’ve ever gotten in my life before. It’s important; we cannot cower because that’s what they want us to do,” he said.

The tour is set to kick off at the University of Arkansas on Sept. 25, with subsequent stops scheduled at various universities, including Troy University, and Ole Miss.

Before committing to the tour, Hollyhand spoke with Auburn Campus Security about the threats he faced, which nearly deterred him from pursuing politics. “Charlie championed civil discourse, and that is exactly what we are going to do,” he stated. He previously gained attention for founding “The Truth Gazette” and has appeared on prominent news networks like Fox News and CNN.

Hollyhand has amassed nearly 300,000 Instagram followers and 180,000 on X. “We live in a world where the coward who assassinated my friend wanted to shut us up, but we are actually seeing a revival where conservatism is cool,” he said.

During a vigil for Kirk at Auburn’s TPUSA chapter, Hollyhand expressed his commitment to honoring Kirk’s memory. “You can kill a man, but you can’t kill a movement,” he stated, emphasizing his desire to take up the mantle of leadership in the face of adversity.

For Hollyhand, this tour is not just about him, but about continuing Kirk’s mission to motivate a new generation of conservatives. His first campus stop begins on Sept. 25, with more dates and venues to follow as he aims to stimulate political discussions among students.
