Ten ways to celebrate this World Humanist Day

Today is World Humanist Day – a time to celebrate what it means to be a humanist and to share the positive values of humanism.

World Humanist Day is celebrated every year on 21 June and we have been celebrating it since the 1980s. Here are some quick and easy ways to get involved this year:

1. Share a few thoughts on social media which sum up why you are a humanist – remember to use the hashtag #WorldHumanistDay and tag us in your posts.
2. If you use Facebook, you can download our profile picture frame here: https://www.twibbonize.com/world-humanist-day
3. Check out and share our updated Amsterdam Declaration which was recently approved at the Humanists International 2022 General Assembly.
4. If you aren’t already, why not become an Individual Supporter of Humanists International? Your donations help us to campaign on humanist issues, lobby for humanist values at international institutions (including the UN), protect humanists at risk of persecution and violence, and build and support the humanist movement around the world. Already a supporter? Recommend us to a friend instead!
