1. ¿Qué es Turning Point USA (TPUSA)?
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) se presenta como una organización sin fines de lucro 501(c)(3) fundada en 2012 por Charlie Kirk. Su misión declarada es identificar, educar y organizar a estudiantes de secundaria y universitarios para promover la política conservadora.
