Proclamation 10983 is a presidential proclamation issued by President Donald J. Trump on October 14, 2025, designating that date as a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk. It is a symbolic, ceremonial action that formally recognizes Kirk’s death and calls on Americans to observe the day through prayer and assembly at places of worship.
October 14, 2025, is designated as a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk; this is a one-time commemorative designation, not a recurring federal holiday. The proclamation does not establish any new law, regulation, funding, or enforceable obligation. It calls on Americans to assemble at houses of worship and pray for peace, truth, and justice, but this is an invitation, not a requirement. No government offices are directed to close, and no federal programs or deadlines are altered by this action.
This proclamation is directed at the general American public, whom the President invites to participate in prayer and remembrance on October 14, 2025. No specific government agencies, organizations, or regulated parties are assigned duties or obligations under this document. Kirk’s immediate family — his wife Erika and their two children — are specifically acknowledged as recipients of the nation’s condolences.
