Fights break out, multiple people arrested as Turning Point USA event sparks protest at UC Berkeley
""We're using our resources to do it. Go somewhere else, we don't want you here,""
""Events like this should never happen on this campus or anywhere again,""
""I shouldn't be afraid to wear a shirt that says 'Jesus.'""
""I want to encourage free ideas, don't want one side to dominate the other,""
Turning Point USA concluded its nationwide campus tour with a final event at UC Berkeley two months after founder Charlie Kirk's death while speaking at a Utah college. Hundreds attended the Zellerbach Hall event while protesters, including students and activists, gathered outside with chants and signs. Tensions escalated, forcing entrance lines to be moved and prompting confrontations; ticketing and logistical issues were reported. Supporters inside remained steadfast, with attendees reporting harassment and at least one street vendor injured and escorted away by police. Some attendees emphasized free exchange of ideas and balance between viewpoints.
