Game creators join forces for reproductive rights with special Itch.io charity bundle

120 game creators are joining forces in the fight for reproductive rights with a special Itch.io charity bundle.

Worthy of Better, Stronger Together for Reproductive Rights, which went live yesterday, includes a massive amount of games, including Sucker for Love: First Date, Calico, Garden of Seif: Curse of Gravehollow Peaks, and Catlateral Damage: Remeowstered.

A statement about the bundle reads:

June 24th, 2022 was a harrowing day for civil liberties. In the United States, basic human rights are being stripped away. It is a stark reminder that even after 50 years of legal protection, equality can be so easily lost. To say nothing of the dangerous precedent this decision sets for other civil rights protections, we believe that the right for a person to pursue safe and legal abortions is more than enough reason to stand up and take action. This decision does not only effect those capable of becoming pregnant. It is a determination of what rights we as a society choose to hold sacred. It is a question of  who is deemed worthy of protecting. The fabric of our society is woven by every single member, to erode a single thread unravels us all. We must all take a stand and demand that our rights and bodily autonomy are federally recognized

With support from creators and supporters in the gaming community, this bundle was created to aid the fight for basic and humane rights.  All proceeds will be donated 50/50 to the following charities:

- National Organization for Women

- Center for Reproductive Rights

To all those who are affected, you are seen, you are strong, and we are in this together. Every human being deserves basic rights. Worthy of better, stronger together.

As of this writing, the bundle has raised around $25,000 of its $150,000 goal. The bundle will be around for a limited time, so pick it up for a minimum of $10 here.
