What is Individual Rights Day?

Individual Rights Day honours the birthday of philosopher John Locke, whose ideas shaped modern notions of liberty. It celebrates the fundamental rights every person deserves — life, liberty, property, free speech and freedom of belief — and the freedoms we too often take for granted.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
