More Public Debate, Less Violence.

Charlie Kirk disagree agreeably quote to Van Jones by Sara Keelan

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, I’m more passionate than ever to do more public discourse, more public debating, more expressing opinions – equally paired with more listening.

Less fighting.

Words, not weapons.

Van Jones received a direct message from Charlie Kirk the day before his untimely death on 9/10/2025. He asked Jones to debate, “disagree aggreably”.

“Hey Van, I mean it, I’d love to have you on my show to have a respectful conversation about crime and race. I would be a gentleman as I know you would be as well. We can disagree about the issues agreeably.”

And that’s the invitation we must not ignore. Charlie Kirk’s final outreach to Van Jones wasn’t just a gesture—it was a challenge to all of us. To disagree without dehumanizing.

To confront ideas, not individuals. In a time when political violence has pierced the public square, we owe it to each other to rebuild that square with dialogue, not division.

Whether you admired Kirk or opposed his views, the principle he invoked—“disagree agreeably”—is one we can all rally behind. Let’s honor that by showing up, speaking out, and listening harder. The future of civic life depends on it.

We can disagree about the issues agreeably.

– Charlie Kirk, 9/9/2025
