SUMMARY:Blasphemy Day 2025: Decriminalise Blasphemy! Free Betty!
DESCRIPTION:Join EXMI’s #FreeBetty Campaign for Blasphemy Day on Sept. 30!\nOn Blasphemy Day\, Betty will have endured 51 days behind bars in Morocco – simply for wearing a T-shirt deemed “blasphemous.”  \nWe need you and your voice more than ever! \nJoin Ex-Muslims International for a public action on 30 September in support of renowned activist Ibtissame Betty Lachgar. Betty has been imprisoned in Morocco for two and a half years for wearing a t-shirt with the slogan a ‘Allah is Lesbian.’ Call for the decriminalisation of blasphemy and for Betty’s immediate release.  \nGet in on the “Prison Mugshots” campaign for Blasphemy Day:\nTake mugshot photos holding a placard:\nUse these templates. Use black background for realism\, white background for printer-friendly or make your own. \nUse a short caption for social media: \n\nBlasphemy is not a crime and no one should be jailed for a t-shirt! #FreeBetty #BlasphemyDay2025\nIf Betty can be imprisoned for a t-shirt\, any of us could. #FreeBetty #BlasphemyDay2025\nBetty is a cancer survivor. She urgently needs medical care. #FreeBetty #BlasphemyDay2025\n\nFind and tag Moroccan authorities on social media:  \n\n@ChefGov_ma\n@Diplomatie_ma\n@Justice_Gov_ma\n\nPost it on your socials with two hashtags: #FreeBetty #BlasphemyDay2025 \nWhy Mugshots\, Not Selfies? \nWe’re not asking for just another solidarity selfie. Mugshots symbolise imprisonment — they show the reality that Betty is behind bars for a T-shirt. By taking a mugshot\, you place yourself symbolically in her position\, stripped of freedom and dignity for “blasphemy.” \n📸 How to Take Your Mugshot Photos (see examples below from Veiled Rose) \n\nStand against a plain wall or background\nHold the placard chest-high\nKeep a straight\, serious look (no smiles)\nWear plain/baggy clothes\, minimal makeup\nTake 3 shots: front\, left profile\, right profile\n\nThis helps people imagine what Betty is enduring — and makes the injustice impossible to ignore. \n   \nJoin the International Blasphemy Day YouTube livestream on Sept. 30: \nUniting the Cults will be hosting a special livestream for Blasphemy Day featuring members from Ex-Muslims International.  \nSign Betty’s petition\, get a t-shirt\, and visit Ex-MI’s #FreeBetty page to find out more ways to learn about and support Betty.  \nLet’s show the world that blasphemy is not a crime! #FreeBetty

SUMMARY:2025 Ex-Muslim Awareness Month: Why NOT Islam
DESCRIPTION:Our doubt\, voices and existence as Ex-Muslims is why we’re not asking\, we’re saying: why NOT Islam!\n \nJoin Ex-Muslims International in collaboration with Haram Doodles and Ex-Muslims of North America for the fourth annual Ex-Muslim Month this December in loudly\, proudly and unapologetically saying: “why NOT Islam!” \nEx-Muslim Month 2025 expands the U.S. success of the epic #whyNOTislam campaign earlier this year by Ex-Muslims of North America. \nTheir message is simple: Losing faith in Islam? You’re not alone! \nWe Ex-Muslims are a global community of people who\, somewhere along the way\, lost our faith in Islam too. And\, we’re done being treated as a threat and excusing a religious system that continues to harm. \nIslam\, and the Islamist Muslims who have the power to enforce it\, use Islam to turn inequality into law\, obedience into virtue\, and freedom into a crime. The result is an authoritative\, oppressive religious system that allows family\, community and government leaders to control\, silence and harm people by denying them their basic human rights like freedom of speech or freedom from religion. \nDire consequences are not theoretical for those of us who dare to free ourselves from Islam and advocate for secularism\, humanism\, free thought\, feminism and LGBTQ+ rights. They’re lived\, unjust and systemic. \nRampant apostophobia in Muslim communities. Women forced into veils and homes in Afghanistan. An Islamic regime that continues brutalizing dissent and persecuting protestors in Iran.  \nAnti-blasphemy laws imprisoning human rights activist Betty Lachgar in Morocco or people in Pakistan for speaking freely online. Disappearance of atheist activist Sherif Gaber amidst a war on atheism in Egypt. Human rights violations in Saudi Arabia.\n\nHarm done by Islamist family control in the U.S. or U.K. Half of the countries with anti-LGBTQ laws being Muslim-majority. And\, countless dissidents of Islam facing persecution — the harm is real\, global\, and ongoing. \nThat’s why ExMuslim Month was started in December 2022\, for ExMuslims\, Ex-Muslim organizations\, partners\, allies and friends to raise global awareness of Ex-Muslims and advocate for our rights to safely and freely question\, disbelieve and leave Islam. \nWe leave Islam because we can\, no matter what Islam or Islamists say. We speak quietly and loudly because too many of us cannot. Every Ex-Muslim who doubts\, deconstructs and leaves Islam is living\, breathing evidence of why NOT Islam! \nHere are 10 things can you do to celebrate and honor Ex-Muslim month in December 2025:\n\nUse hashtag #ExMuslimMonth and #whyNOTislam\nUrge politicians\, influencers\, organizations and public officials to free Betty in Morocco\, free Sherif Gaber in Egypt\, and to use their privilege\, power and connections to support secularism or keeping religion out of governments.\nVisit and share whyNOTislam.net\, created by Ex-Muslims of North America. It provides Ex-Muslims and people who are questioning Islam with the most-discussed topics\, frequently and secretly-asked questions\, and evidence-based information from the Quran.\nShare your story anonymously on exmuslim.me. Make a historical contribution with fellow Ex-Muslims and let the world know we exist!\nWatch this livestream with members of Ex-Muslims International Secular Spirit\, Uniting the Cults\, Haram Doodles\, Apostate Aladdin\, Maryam Namazie from the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain\, Egyptian musician Yasmine Elbaramawy\, artist Raghed Rustom\, and physics professor Usama al-Binni.\n \n\n\nShare content about Ex-Muslims from Ex-Muslims to increase belonging.\nTalk about Ex-Muslims on social media or with people you feel safe with.\nSupport fellow Ex-Muslims in your life and in online communities like Reddit or Discord\nDonate to Ex-Muslim organizations.\nVolunteer your time and talent with Ex-Muslim\, atheist\, secular and humanist organizations.\n\nHistory of Ex-Muslim Month: Did you know? ExMuslim Month was born from the Ex-Muslim Subreddit in December 2022\, and the Ex-Muslim Subreddit was started on December 1\, 2010! \nDownload and share 2025 Ex-Muslim Month #whyNOTislam graphics\n \n

SUMMARY:No Hijab Day 2026: Burn Your Hijab. Light Up With the Women of Iran!
DESCRIPTION:On 1st February\, 2026\, Ex-Muslims International (EXMI) calls on people everywhere to:  \nBurn your hijab. Light up in solidarity with the women of Iran on No Hijab Day!  \nAs Iranians once again risk their lives in mass protests against an Islamic regime that enforces control through women’s bodies\, we stand with those demanding an end to theocracy and the continuation of the Women\, Life\, Freedom movement ignited by the killing of Mahsa Jina Amini for defying compulsory hijab laws. \nFor hundreds of millions of women worldwide\, the hijab is not a choice. It is enforced by religion\, law\, family\, and state power. It cannot be empowering while women and girls are jailed\, beaten\, and killed for refusing submission. \nOn No Hijab Day\, burn your hijab (safely and legally) and light up with the women of Iran who know the hijab not as a cloth\, but as a symbol of control. Read more about No Hijab Day by Ex-Muslims International. \n#NoHijabDay #BurnYourHijab #WorldHijabDay

SUMMARY:Atheist Day 2026: Not just a celebration. A demand for freedom.
DESCRIPTION:Atheist Day on March 23 is not just an annual celebration. It’s a demand for freedom. \nCelebrate openly. Stand in solidarity. Join us this March 23 for Atheist Day\, a global moment to defend the right to disbelieve in god(s). \nAtheist Day\, created by an international coalition of Ex-Muslims and atheist allies\, is more than a celebration. It’s an act of resistance. Across the world\, atheists and ex-Muslims continue to face persecution\, imprisonment\, and violence simply for questioning religion. From anti-apostasy laws to enforced silence\, disbelief is still treated as a threat rather than a human right. \nThis event brings together a global community to: \n\nAffirm the freedom of belief and non-belief\n\nRaise awareness of ongoing persecution\n\nStand in solidarity with those who cannot speak freely\n\nCall for the release of imprisoned atheists and activists\, including Sherif Gaber (#FreeSherif)\n\n\nWhether you’re openly atheist\, questioning\, or an ally—this day is for you! \nRead why Atheist Day matters now more than ever.
