About

Jerk for Kirk, also known as Jerk4Kirk, is an ironic social media movement where, on January 6th, 2026 (the same date as the 2021 U.S. Capitol Attack), participants are encouraged to masturbate in memory and support of Charlie Kirk, who was killed in September 2025. The movement began gaining momentum on social media in early December 2025, most notably on TikTok, as users posted videos and memes advertising the date and movement under the hashtag "#JerkForKirk."

History

On December 7th, 2025, TikToker^[1] @brainrotskibidi posted an AI-generated video of Charlie Kirk smiling and looking around in front of the text "Jerk For Kirk," set to the song "We Are Charlie Kirk," garnering over 344,000 views in three weeks. The description reads:

Let’s support the man who supported us. On January 6 we will #jerkforkirk

Even after his unaliving, people want to silence the movement. Charlie would not have wanted this. He fought for free speech and we will never back down, never give up.

Please comment and share to spread awareness. If you guys like this movement let me know what else you’d like to see.
