The Satanic Temple is launching its annual Day of Action Blood Drive on May 1, 2026, coinciding with the National Day of Prayer. We encourage everyone to move beyond just “thoughts and prayers” and instead take meaningful action by donating blood in their communities throughout May.
Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. Blood is crucial for helping patients survive surgeries, cancer treatments, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. This lifesaving care begins with a single person taking action, yet only 3% of those eligible to donate blood do so each year. The Satanic Temple’s first tenet is “To act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures according to reason.” By living our values, we strive to enhance the lives of others through international and local Good Works Campaigns.
Click on “PLEDGE NOW” to schedule your donation appointment in May.
Last year, TST’s American Red Cross donor team was ranked 80th out of over 70,000 teams and had impacted 20,000 lives. As of March 2026, we are ranked 46th and have impacted over 41,000 lives – most of that increase due to last year’s blood drive. Join The Satanic Temple team by downloading the American Red Cross app and registering here: https://www.redcrossblood.org/blood-donor-app.html or by texting BLOODAPP to 80880.

We understand that many of you may not have a Red Cross location close to you. Please don’t let that stop you from participating in this Day of Action. We encourage everyone to find a blood service convenient to them and make their appointment. It’s the action that’s important!
And lastly, we encourage donors to take a photo on the day of their appointment and share it to their social media with the hashtag #TSTDAYOFACTION.
Again, THANK YOU for stepping up and taking action to help those in need. HAIL YOU!
Challenge your friends (or anyone for that matter) to a friendly competition! Who will win the battle to do the most social good for your community?
Put your virtual blood drive campaign against one or even multiple other campaigns to see who can recruit more blood donors for the American Red Cross.
