I believe that creative work and technology cannot exist outside of human responsibility.

When people are killed, silenced, or displaced by state violence, profit has no meaning.

For this reason, I’ve decided that revenues generated from my projects and digital products in countries or regions where governments systematically violate human rights or use violence against civilians will be entirely devolved to humanitarian and medical organizations working to protect and support those affected — regardless of nationality, religion, or side of a border.

This includes areas currently identified by major international human-rights bodies as sites of severe or ongoing violations, such as:

• Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories

• Syria

• Myanmar (Burma)

• China (Xinjiang and Hong Kong)

• Saudi Arabia

• Sudan

• North Korea

• Eritrea

As situations evolve, this list may change based on independent reports from the United Nations, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch.

All donations will go to recognized organizations including:

• Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders

• International Rescue Committee

• Red Cross / Red Crescent Movement

• UNICEF Emergency Relief

This is not a boycott and it’s not directed at individuals.

It’s simply a way to make my professional activity consistent with my beliefs: that creativity should never turn a blind eye to human pain.

I can’t stop the violence, but I can refuse to profit from it.
