What are you doing for the National Secular Service Day?

Just a reminder, International Blasphemy Rights Day is September 30th. Check our Campaign for Free Expression page for more information as well as resources and links to ideas for how you can get involved.

National Secular Service Day is the first Sunday in October, which will be October 3rd this year. Non-religious people all over the country will be volunteering to show their dedication to making their communities happier and safer places.
