It's time to stand up for freedom of speech and celebrate International Blasphemy Rights Day on Sept. 30! This important holiday was established in 2009 to raise awareness of the global struggle against blasphemy laws, which restrict people's right to express their opinions freely. This day gives us an opportunity to reflect on the importance of free expression and open dialogue, no matter how controversial or unpopular someone's ideas may be. So join us in celebrating International Blasphemy Rights Day and show your support for freedom of speech!
Organize or join an event that speaks out against blasphemy laws and encourages freedom of expression. Make sure to be aware of any local laws or regulations that may limit your ability to do so.
Read up on the history of blasphemy laws and the effects they have had around the world. Learn about the current situation in countries that have blasphemy laws in effect, and how people are fighting for their rights.
Share articles, stories, and other resources with your friends and family to help spread awareness of the issues surrounding blasphemy laws. Talk to people and encourage them to learn more about these issues.
Write a letter to your local government officials and representatives expressing your support for freedom of speech and expression. If you know someone who is affected by a blasphemy law, consider writing a letter on their behalf as well.

International Blasphemy Rights Day highlights the importance of freedom of expression and tolerance of all beliefs. It reminds us that no matter what we believe in, everyone should be free to express their ideas without fear of oppression or censorship.
By celebrating International Blasphemy Rights Day, we remind ourselves that all faiths should be respected, even - and especially - those which differ from our own. This is essential for developing a healthy understanding of other cultures, beliefs and experiences.
A world where people feel safe enough to question the beliefs of others is one where we can engage in meaningful dialogue and come to a better understanding and respect for each other. By promoting blasphemy rights, we foster an environment where critical thinking is encouraged and embraced rather than suppressed or punished.
